NASA ESMD Internships---2009 Summer
Deadline: The application will be open November 17, 2008 - January 12, 2009
Applicant must:
Students enrolled in either the Industrial Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering major are highly encouraged to take a semester off from college at some point past their sophomore year to take part in the cooperative education program. Cooperative Education/Internships are career-related, paid work experiences for credit. Companies ranging from manufacturing to healthcare are consistently looking for students to work as co-ops for six-month, nine-month, or summer positions.
Students who have completed a co-op of six months or more can write a paper on their experience to receive credit for IME 497 (Co-op Technical Report). This 3-credit class counts as a technical elective. The guidelines for the co-op paper can be found here.
By participating in the cooperative education program, students receive "real-world" experience that cannot be taught in a classroom. They also are given a chance to see what aspect of their major they would like to focus on after graduation and begin networking with individuals in industry.
