Although these three paths are typical plans that most students participating in the Cooperative Education and Internship Program (CEIP) follow, individualized study/work plans can alsobe developed. These individualized plans require the pre-approval of the faculty coordinator, the department chairperson, the director of the CEIP, and the associate dean of the College of Engineering.
Requirements:
- 2.75 GPA to start work placements
- 2.75 GPA to remain in the program
- A minimum of three work placements is required, i.e., the equivalent of twelve months of full-time work
- No more than five work placements are allowed
- At least one of the work placements must be a non-summer work term
- Placements begin after the completion of the coursework required in the calculus-ready sophomore year curriculum of the participating student’s major
- Two approved internships may substitute for one work placement.
