Co-operative Education (Co-op) Program
The Electrical Engineering Department actively participates in co-operative education in which students alternate semesters of standard academic study with semesters of meaningful industrial experience. Typically, students will begin the co-op program some time after taking their first EE course and will spend one Fall semester, one Spring semester, and one Summer (not all back-to-back) working for an EE-related company. This will usually extend graduation by about 1 year, but the benefits are worth it.
Benefits of the co-op program are:
- great job experience
- substantial salary while on co-op (typically $14-$17 per hour)
- up to 6 credits which count towards graduation in the BSEE program
- good source for permanent job placement
EE Students who are not yet part of the co-op program should visit the Engineering Career Resources & Employer Relations Office in 205 Hammond Building or see the Engineering Career Resources Web page for general introductory information. The EE co-op coordinator is

The EE co-op secretary is
