The Co-op Program is a great way for us to cooperatively
develop engineers of the future.
To ensure our students receive the best
possible experience, please follow the guidelines below.
- Provide the student with multiple co-op
work terms.
Work terms are determined by employer and
student, typically based on work needs and student performance.
The work terms can either be alternating or two
consecutive semesters (i.e. Spring/Summer or Summer/Fall).
- Educate students by having them perform
technical engineering work relevant to their academic discipline.
- Provide direct supervision
by an engineer.
- Complete an
evaluation form
for
each semester a student works.
Please try to offer the student
constructive criticism so they can really learn from this experience.
- Maintain communication with
the Co-op
Office regarding recruitment and student
performance.
Students expect...
To get feedback.
The number one complaint of our co-op students is
that their supervisor didn't tell them if they were doing a good job.
So please talk to your students!
