Cooperative engineering education at LIT

Abstract

Lawrence Institute of Technology's (LIT's) Cooperative Education Program in Engineering places construction, electrical, and mechanical engineering students with an above average academic performance into work situations that emphasize the application of engineering fundamentals. Engineering students receive academic credit towards their degree for work periods after they submit written reports and have been evaluated by their employer. Employers agree to provide engineering-related work experience acceptable to the School of Engineering, to evaluate students according to standards set by the school, and to provide a mentor for each student.
