Explore the many exciting opportunities that cooperative
education offers both students and employers. Together we will develop
a pipeline of globally competitive engineers and scientists by engaging
students early and effectively equipping them with the knowledge, techniques
and skills demanded in an interdisciplinary world.
The success of this academically focused program is built
on diverse, high performing students; the challenging, real world work
opportunities provided by co-op employers; and the student-centered, team
approach of the co-op staff. The combination of rigorous classroom
study and experiential education creates a candidate that is second to none.
Cooperative education is first and foremost a powerfully
effective educational process. Co-op is built on a theory/practice
model of work integrated learning that unfolds through five increasingly
progressive work terms. Co-op helps students confirm their choice of
discipline, clarify their interests and career goals and earn a salary to
pay part of their university expenses.
Stevens values the participation of employers in this
process. Companies hire co-op students for their ability to contribute
to current operations and their employability upon graduation. Co-op
employers and supervisors enjoy the challenges and rewards of contributing
to the development of the next generation of engineers and scientists.
Most co-op employers seek to hire students semester after semester which is
a strong testament to the success of the program.
Meet the Stevens Co-op Staff in the Career Center, 6th
Floor, Wesley Howe Building.. We look forward to speaking
with you!
Best,
