001 Cooperative Education Program. I, II, SS; 1 cr. Work experience which combines classroom theory with practical knowledge of operations to provide students with a background upon which to base a professional career. P: So st.

Course Prerequisite(s)

See catalog description above.

Prerequisite knowledge and/or skills

This course enables students to obtain academic credit for time spent away from school participating in a full-time cooperative work experience during their studies. There are no academic prerequisites besides Sophomore level standing. Students can acquire a maximum of three credits for the course at the rate of one credit per semester cooperative experience. Students are required to submit a report to their advisor after each semester for which credit is claimed detailing the nature of their work experience and its relationship to their course of studies.

Textbook(s) and/or other required material

None required

Course objectives

To enbale students to participate in a professional capacity in a civil engineering enterprise.
To gain first-hand knowledge of the practice of civil engineering.
To work in a paid-capacity in a civil engineering enterprise during the undergraduate degree years.

Topics covered

Not applicable.

Class/laboratory schedule

Full-time employment for the entire semester for which cooperative credit is claimed.

Contribution of course to meeting the professional component

This course contributes primarily to the students' knowledge of engineering topics, and does provide design experience.

The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.

Students gain a first-hand experience with civil engineering practice and gain an appreciation of economic, environmental, ethical, political, social, health and safety, manufacturability (constructibility) and sustainability issues as they pertain to civil engineering practice. The degree to which each of these a particular student obtains exposure depends on the individual and the place of work.

Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes

This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.

The course allows students to participate in a real-life civil engineering experience and to obatin academic credit in the process. The cooperative program enables students to acquire income to finance their studies where necessary.
