Internships and co-ops are hands-on learning opportunities for students to apply and practice what they learned in a real world engineering environment. Such experiences allow students to observe first hand and learn experientially what it takes to operate and thrive as a practicing engineer. Through an internship or co-op students can also become familiar with a potential employer.

UConn’s Center for Career Development provides services for students who are looking for full-time and part-time employment, internships, or co-ops. Please visit their dedicated page for internship and coops for more information.

If you are interested in a broader and deeper experience, please consider a co-op for your junior or senior year. Please find more information here regarding co-ops at the Undergraduate Programs website.

If you are looking for an international internship or co-op, UConn’s College of Engineering has a well-rounded international engineering program that has this requirement built into the program. Please find more information at the International Engineering Program.

The Career Fairs organized by the College of Engineering provide an excellent opportunity to network with industry and learn about potential employers.
