Subject:

Description:

An experience in practical education. Each student enrolled in this course will become an active participant in a company's computer science applications. Work schedules will be determined by the participating company. Students will be responsible to a supervisor or supervisors, at the discretion of the respective companies, and to a member of the college's computer science department. Actual work performed will be determined by the company supervisors and may or may not involve a special project. Some possibilities include: computerizing a small company's payroll, inventory, etc.; participating in the systems programming department of a large company; or writing programs based on specifications for a consulting firm specializing in computer applications. Once a month during the fall or spring terms or twice during the January term, the student, his or her company supervisor, and a computer science department faculty member will meet to discuss the program. Further, each student will meet individually with his or her faculty representative bi-weekly in the fall or spring terms and weekly in the January term to discuss the student's progress. At the end of the term, before a final grade is assigned, each student must submit two copies (one for the company and one for the college's computer science department) of a formal report which summarizes the student's work activities during the term. In addition, the company supervisor may also submit a short, confidential report on the student's performance. Prerequisite: junior or senior status, an overall minimum R-MC GPA of 2.25, and departmental approval. Application required; see Internship Program. Offered as needed. Three hours. Staff.
