Co-op & Experiential Learning

professionalS T R E N G T H L E A R N I N G :

Kettering University is devoted to the concepts of innovation, entrepreneurship, and educating for the future. To this end, Kettering’s educational focus is on cooperative education and experiential learning.

Research shows that hands-on experience combined with theory is the best way to learn. Students who participate in co-op or internship programs are better problem solvers and more technically knowledgeable than their peers. Kettering students will earn up to two and a half years of experience working at corporations that connect to their studies and interests. Our students have done everything from testing ballistic systems to re-engineering amusement park crowd management.

Under the Kettering academic calendar, students rotate between three month terms of on-campus study with three month terms of co-op employment or other approved experiential work experience. A Kettering student may earn experiential education credit for any approved experiences during work terms which involve the equivalent of a minimum of six weeks of full-time effort.

BENEFITS OF CO-OP & EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING• Up to 2 1/2 years of professional experience upon graduation

• Potential total co-op earnings of $40,000-$65,000 over college career

• Ability to ‘test drive’ career choice before graduation

• Development of a rich professional network

• Hands-on experience at school and on the job

• Benefi ts from the Kettering University Thesis Project

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION OPTIONS• Traditional work assignment with a Kettering co-op employer partner

• Kettering-funded on-campus work assignment

• Work experience with any employer

• Internships related to the student’s academic goals

• Research experience with Kettering faculty or another academic/

research institution

• Volunteer experience with any sponsoring organization

• Entrepreneurial endeavors

THESIS...FROM PROBLEM TO SOLUTIONProblem:

A seating systems company lacked a mechanism to safely and effi ciently

transport seats between conveyors.

Solution: Joseph Meyer designed a universal ergonomic lifting device; resulting

in a savings of $1.2 million.

Problem: Traditional methods have proven problematic in the search and recovery

of missing persons and human remains.

Solution:

Sarah Kokosa utilized infrared spectroscopy to

analyze skin, bone and hair for tracking and

locating live humans as well as detecting

human remains.

Problem:

A communications company

was experiencing reliability

and effi ciency issues

with employee time

documentation.

Solution:

Benjamin Banks

created a database to

facilitate fast, accurate

management of time

documentation. Information

can be searched and recalled

for payroll and customer

invoices more effi ciently, resulting

in cost savings of $18,720 per year.
