合作的经验
The 计算机科学 Department offers a voluntary cooperative education program option for computer science majors. 两个专业, General Studies and Information Systems, can pursue the traditional 4 year program track or they can elect to participate in, 如果他们符合要求, the cooperative education program track. 学生 participate in two 6-month full-time coop experiences; one in their junior year and one in their senior year. This extends graduation a year but enhances their theoretical course work with real-world hands-on problem-solving, allows them to apply professional critical thinking skills within their discipline, and enriches the classroom environment. 学生 receive experiential credit on their transcript and maintain full-time student status. The coop experience will help students experience diverse areas of interest within the computer science discipline and lead them to more focused graduate studies or employment.
另外, if a student wants this opportunity on a part-time basis they can register for an internship course during a semester in their junior or senior year as part of their regular course load. This would become one of their "free" electives (ie- it is not counted as one of the required CS courses or CS electives).
学生 are encouraged to participate in one of the above options, as employers are looking for students who have real world experience and have demonstrated an ability in the field beyond the classroom.
注册合作公寓, a student must complete an application form, provide the form to their employer for signature and position description, and finally obtain the signiture of the co-op coordinator, after which the student turns the completed form in to the registrar to register for the co-op course. 请在下面选择合适的表格:
