[Eecs_bsee] Students -- Please Report Your Spring Co-op/Internship

[Hunter, Tiffany]

Dear Russ College students,

Do you have a co-op or internship this spring? We hope you'll tell us about it, and that you'll complete the attached "course registration form" to be registered for ET 1910/2910/3910/4910, a one credit-hour course that will list your co-op/internship experience on your transcript.

There are no meeting times for the class. You'll complete an evaluation at the end of your work term and your co-op/internship supervisor will complete an evaluation at the end of your work term. You will also write a brief summary of what you did during your co-op/internship at the end of the spring semester.  It's a quick and simple way to obtain academic credit for your work experience.

Benefits of enrolling in ET 1910/2910/3910/4910

-      Scholarships are deferred while you're working

In Ohio, as in many states, co-op and internship experience counts toward the 4-year field work requirement to obtain the PE license.
