Internships

All students are required to complete a full-time internship experience to be eligible to graduate. The Internship is a period of work placement conducted with an appropriately selected organization. This requires a carefully planned work experience that will match the content covered in the student’s program of study. Students earn credit for the internship, which is assessed on a pass-fail basis.

The Career and Internship Coordinator is responsible for managing the internship program; this includes sourcing appropriate internship opportunities. However, students provide names and contact information of organizations with which they would like to intern. Complete information about internship requirements can be found in the Internship Handbook. Students in the College of Engineering are required to complete sixteen weeks of internship placement for two credits, this can be taken over two summer semesters, or in one regular (Fall/Spring) semester given that the student has completed all the required courses as per his/her degree plan.

Students in the College of Science are required to complete eight weeks of internship placement for one credit, this can be taken in one summer semester, or in one regular (Fall/Spring) semester given that the student has completed all the required courses as per his/her degree plan.
