Industrial Practice Programs

The Industrial Practice Programs (IP Programs or IPP) of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science include the School�s Cooperative Education, Internship, and Curricular Practical Training programs. These programs combine classroom learning with paid work experience. Qualified students are referred to participating employers seeking candidates for career-related, pre-professional, work assignments. The programs enhance a student�s education and career preparation by integrating classroom theory with on-the�job performance; providing an understanding of work environments and professional requirements; testing career and professional goals; developing confidence, maturity, and skills in human relations; and establishing professional contacts and interests.

Students enroll in Engineering Computer Science Co-op (ECSC) courses during semesters when working on an IPP assignment. Students are expected to follow the rules of the IP Programs when working in a position titled by the employer as an Internship or a Cooperative Education assignment.

For more information about the IP Programs, call (972) 883-4363. The IP Programs are located in EC 3.706.
