What do CE co-ops do?

• Performed hydraulic analysis of municipal wastewater collection system (Camp Dresser & McKee).

What do CE co-ops have to say about their experience?

“I think a co-op was a great benefit to me in that I was able to see how what I learned in class applied in the real world.  I also had never worked in a professional/office environment before, so it was really good for me to experience that.  I think a co-op is a great way to explore different specializations and figure out what you would like to pursue after college.” – Sarah Lothman, Freese & Nichols

Special Advising Information

For a three-term co-op, Architectural Engineering students will receive three hours of technical elective credit, and Civil Engineering students will receive three hours of Level 1 elective credit.

For a two-term co-op, students will receive two hours of credit, but not as a technical elective.

Co-op experience can count toward Professional Engineering licensure.
