ENGT 495 Field-Based Experience/Internship

2-5 CR

Engineering internships are not required but serve as a critical experience for students to apply classroom learning to real world experiences and potentially help them to secure full-time positions upon graduation. The aim of this course is to enable students to gain skills needed to negotiate, plan, undertake and communicate the results of an engineering project while working in an industry placement. The project topic will be based on the needs of the industry. The project will be completed under the supervision of an industry professional (preferably with a degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, or closely related field). The course requires placement of the student in an industry or research internship. Variable credit can be earned for periods of 3-12 weeks of full-time equivalence.

A maximum of five (5) credits total from a combination of ENGT 395 and ENGT 495 can be applied toward satisfying program elective requirements.
Prerequisite(s): ENGT 303 and ENGT 350 , both with a C or higher.
