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 2002 you must fulfill the following requirements. You must meet
ALL course requirements to be eligible to continue participation in the Co-op Program for
Summer or Fall 2002, or to receive your Co-op certificate of successful completion, if graduating
this Spring.
Organizing Meeting
(NOTE the change)
I don't think we need an organizational meeting this semester; therefore
the previous tentatively scheduled meeting has been cancelled.
Please begin submitting your journals according to the schedule below.
For your first journal, please include the information requested
about your co-op position.
Course requirements
- Submit Journal entries (See the link for

- Attend one meeting of the professional engineering society
appropriate to your discipline (NOT the student branch). The
Hawai`i Council of Engineering
Societies (HCES) monthly publication,
"Wiliki o Hawaii", lists the societies with chapters in Hawai`i with
contact and upcoming meeting information. You can get a copy
of this publication at the Student Services desk in Holmes 250.

the topic(s) discussed and what you learned from the meeting.
Regular attendance at these meetings is a good opportunity to
meet practicing engineers in your discipline. You paper is due
no later than 10 May 2002. I would suggest you not wait until the
last month of the semester to look into attending your meeting.
