The Engineering Cooperative Education Program (CO-OP) links qualified, interested students with employers to fill technical positions.
Engaging with the CO-OP Program gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on work experience while earning credits towards a degree, and grants businesses an opportunity to recruit, evaluate, and train potential employees. Generally a longer and more structured educational experience than a traditional internship, assignments usually last for six months and all are paid, full-time positions with a minimum of 50% engineering-related duties. Students do not take academic courses during a full-time Co-op assignment, but still receives UW credit and may still be eligible for financial aid.
