Beginning with the summer term after the student’s sophomore year, he or she alternates work semesters with academic semesters until the spring semester of the senior year. Co-op employment is coordinated and monitored by the participating faculty member and the industrial mentor. Co-op reports are approved and signed by all three parties. Permission of the instructor is required to withdraw once a student is registered. Prerequisite: EGR 290, cumulative GPA 2.5, and completed or currently enrolled in ECE 260 and ECE 280.
