Description: Credit: 1-6 hours. Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing and permission of the Department Head. Student must be an integral part of an engineering project team in industry during the semester. Can be counted as technical elective only. 

Course Objectives:  The industrial internship is designed to provide an alternation of study on-campus and training off-campus as a superior form of education.  Actual industrial experience is an integral part of the student’s formal education, and theory is blended with practice.  In addition to their regular classroom and laboratory experiences, students gain valuable experiences by working in an industrial environment. Some of the specific objectives of the course are:

1. To provide students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in their coursework in an industrial environment. 

2. To provide students with an insight into the myriad of career opportunities available for Engineering Technology graduates.

3. To provide students with experiences in establishing objectives and formulating plans to achieve those objectives.

4. To provide students with the opportunity to develop their leadership abilities in an industrial environment.

5. To provide students with an objective evaluation of their work traits through an external review of their individual performance while working in an industrial environment.
