Cooperative Education and Internship Course
The College of Engineering recognizes the value of participating in a coop or internship
during their degree; as a way to support that, the Cooperative Education Course was
developed. This course serves undergraduate and graduate students participating in
both coops and internships while they are enrolled in the College of Engineering at
the University of Arkansas.
Employers can benefit from the program as well. Connect with our students in ways
that work for you.
Employers
Employers, whether you are engaging with Career Connections for the first time or
you are already recruiting with us, we provide a variety of ways you can connect with
hundreds of talented University of Arkansas students.
Employer and Intern of the Year
Every year, Engineering Career Connections will select an Employer and an Intern of
the Year.
The Employer of the year recognizes an employer who has gone above and beyond in supporting
the College of Engineering students in their professional development.
The Intern of the Year recognizes the achievement and excellence of an outstanding
undergraduate or graduate student who has excelled in and made a significant impact
within an internship or cooperative education (CoOp) experience.
