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 Fall 2018 you must fulfill the requirements below.
You must meet ALL course requirements to be eligible to continue participation
in the Co-op Program for Fall 2018,
or to receive your Co-op certificate
of successful completion, if graduating this Fall.
We will be using tools on
Laulima
to coordinate and build a community of Co-op students and staff. Most of
your interaction in the course will take place at the
Laulima
site set up for Engr 493. By enrolling in the course, you have been added as
a member of the site. You can login to
Laulima
