The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering strongly encourages students to gain work experience during their academic studies. Work experience can be gained through co-op or internship opportunities. Academic credit can be granted, as a technical elective, for work experience gained through either an internship or co-op. Every 200 hrs worked is 1 credit and students can earn up to 3 technical electives to count toward their degree. Students may receive credit retroactively by 1 semester.

To receive credit for work experience:

1. To receive credit for internship experience students must complete EGS 4034 (Engineering Ethics) before the internship experience.
   • Students may do an internship before completing EGS 4034 but cannot apply it for credit toward their degree.
2. Complete the EIN 4944 Registration Request Form
3. Towards the end of the experience, students will need to complete the Practical Work Experience Evaluation Form
4. The department will then email a supervisor evaluation form to the supervisor.
