Academics and Industry Partnering Together!
The Co-op & Internship division in the Swanson School of Engineering’s Office of Experiential Learning & Professional Engagement (ELPE), will assist in connecting students, alumni, and industry, both in the US and world-wide.
Our goal is to help students explore and grow their personal and professional interests, while also linking our employer partners with the next generation of talent.
The structured academic Cooperative Education program allows students return on investment with progressive work experience through multiple rotations, competitive compensation, while still progressing academically and earning credit. Students and employers can opt for the traditional alternating rotation/semester schedules or allow for six-month rotations. Students can become involved in larger projects and responsibilities, and employers can maximize their time and training. Students are still able to complete three alternating four-month rotations that can start in January, May, or September. The six-month rotations run from Jan-June or July-December.
In addition to the traditional alternating rotation schedules, Co-op has been revised to also allow for six-month rotations, so students can become involved in larger projects and responsibilities, and employers can maximize their time and training. These rotations will run from Jan-June or July-December. Students are still able to complete three alternating four-month rotations that can start in January, May, or September. This creates more options for students and allows employers to more flexibility when filling their open roles.
The ELPE office will also assist with summer internships. Global opportunities and research are also options for students to consider. Our career management platform, SSOE Select is the place to advertise opportunities and events.
Professional development and co-curriculars, combined with career development tools and support services will make ELPE a one-stop-shop for both students and employers.
