Does MSU Engineering Have a Co-op Program?

Yes! Our program is extremely flexible for students and employers. The work assignment can be a traditional co-op (alternating school and work) or it can be stand-alone experiences either in summer or during the semesters and for any length of time.

Students Earn Credit

Our office offers a 1-credit course called EGR X. Here are some key characteristics of the course:

  1. Curriculum is designed to enhance a student’s work experience by simulating opportunities for non-technical aspects of professional development and assessment of expectations.
  2. Students must be engaged in work relevant to their major, paid, and supervised by an engineer.
  3. Students will retain “full-time” student status when enrolled.
  4. Tuition for EGR X is waived for all engineering students.
  5. The course is pass/no-pass, virtual, asynchronous and minimal work load as we understand the internship/co-op is their primary responsibility.

Employer Requirements

Employers will be asked to complete a performance evaluation at the end of the MSU semester. We also visit our students on-site to make sure it is a quality experience for the employer and student. Those visits can be modified around company visitor restrictions and non-disclosures as needed.
