The Cooperative Education Engineering Field Experience Course (ENGR 493) provides
formal recognition for your field experience on your official transcript. It also provides
Cooperative Education students with a formal vehicle to report their work experience to
the Cooperative Education Office and the College of Engineering. The course is
repeatable, carried for one credit, and graded as credit/no credit. To receive credit for
this course for Spring 2001 you must fulfill the following requirements. You must meet
ALL course requirements to be eligible to continue participation in the Co-op Program for
Spring or Summer 2002, or to receive your Co-op certificate of successful completion, if graduating
this Fall.
Organizing Meeting
I would like to have an initial organizing meeting for Engr 493 during the
first week of class. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday,
30 Aug 01 at 4:30 PM in POST 214. All students in Engr 493 are expected to
attend this meeting.
