(USRP) implemented an end-to-endon-line database system to manage internship processes from application and selection throughnear-term evaluation and long-term retention outcomes. From 2008 through 2011 this databasedocumented over 10,000 applicants and 1,415 STEM internship experiences.This paper presents initial findings from the analysis of this database, including information oncognitive and affective learning outcomes, post-graduation retention including career andacademic choices, and employer return-on-investment metrics.IntroductionWhen viewed from the broadest employer perspective, full-immersion experiential programssuch as internships or co-op generate positive outcomes in three general areas:1. student competencies (learning)2

natural gas demand. The GasDay Project functions as an extracurricular learning laboratory that incorporatesseveral student-centered learning methods including active, collaborative, and project-basedlearning. It provides students with experiential learning opportunities similar to those associatedwith co-op, internship, and research experiences. Students learn about entrepreneurship,teamwork, and dealing with customers, which prepare them for successful careers. This paper describes the pedagogical approaches to student learning employed by theGasDay Project as well as the educational benefits to students including (i) hands-on learning ina business setting with real-world consequences for successes and failures, (ii) direct contactwith

Page 25.347.2enjoys a unique relationship with employers in business and government as suppliers ofmotivated and educated students in exchange for paid on-the-job learning experiences. Theimpact of co-op education on engineering students has been examined by many professionals.For example, Blair et al.3 results indicated that engineering students who completed a three-semester co-op education program earned higher GPAs than non-coop students and earned morein terms of starting salaries, but took two semesters longer to complete their undergraduateprogram. In addition, at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW): 94% of Co-op students persist to graduation 91% of Co-op graduates land career-related jobs within 1-2 months
