3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of Program Coordinator. Co-requisite: Students must have completed all freshman level technology courses and have a GPA of 2.50 or better. In this course, students will work in industry gaining hands-on experience while applying academic knowledge acquired during their first year of classroom/laboratory college education. A specific project will be agreed upon by the co-op student, industry supervisor, and faculty advisor. A minimum of 225 documented industry contact hours must be devoted by the co-op student during the semester internship.
