Internship requirements

Internship requirement

     The internship program enriches the academic experience for the student by providing exposure to a working industrial environment. Each internship is a partnership between the student, a faculty advisor and an employer. Once the junior year is reached (60 credits), a student is eligible to find and propose a particular experience. This could take the form of part-time or summer employment, a co-op job, community service or some other activity of sufficient duration and duties relevant to the discipline. The minimum length of time required for the internship varies for each program (300 hours for Electrical and Computer Engineering, 100 for Computer Science and Information Technology). Students who are already working in the field should contact their advisor concerning a possible waiver of this requirement. For further details on internship guideline you may visit the pages for the individual programs in the department.
