Co-op2015-16
Cooperative educationThe optional non-credit Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program
enables students to alternate school and work terms and apply
their skills to the work setting. In addition to providing a source
of valuable talent, co-op students offer employers an opportunity
to identify qualified candidates prior to graduation. Ideally, co-op
is eight-months of hands-on engineering experience, occurring
either May through December or January through August.

The ECRC helped in every step
of the career search process.
It helped me define the types
of jobs I would enjoy as well as
the top industries I would like to
work in. Further, advice from the
ECRC helped me move beyond
a polished resume and elevator
pitch, to where I was actually
developing a professional identity
and sense of confidence that was
truly desirable to employers.

InternshipsNon-credit internships are popular amongst U-M engineering
and computer science students. Students have the opportunity
to gain valuable work experience in an engineering environment.
The assignments typically occur May through August and may
be in locations all over the world. Many students at the College
participate in internships. The internships in this publication
only include those that were reported to the eCRC.
