Get hands-on experience in your field, get paid and potentially earn credits toward your degree.
Internships serve as a critical experience for students to apply their in classroom learning to a real world experience. Engineering students who participate in a structured internship program may be eligible to receive credit through the College of Engineering. Engineering departments allow students to apply their internship credit to their degree requirements. Available to both undergraduate (via ENGR 321) and graduate (via ENGR 601) students alike, gaining credit helps to provide structure to ensure that students leave their internship with relevant, meaningful experience. Students registered in these courses do not pay full tuition; they keep their student status and benefits.
