The CREW Center Internship, Co-operative and Experiential education program provides an opportunity for students to work for an employer and earn academic credit. The position must be related to a student's major and the student must develop measurable learning objectives tying the experience to his or her degree program. Each student will meet with his/her employer and an assigned faculty representative at the beginning of the semester to set up the objectives. The faculty member will return at the end of the semester to meet with the student and the student's supervisor to evaluate the experience. By participating in this program, students gain work experience related to their major, increase their marketability upon graduation, have an opportunity to preview career objectives in an actual work setting, and in some cases, could lead to full-time employment.

1. Cooperative Education : Students completing a technical degree participate through Cooperative Education. Co-ops are paid positions in which the student works a minimum of 20 hours per week during the semester.
