offered by the department of Vehicle Technologycovers eight semesters over a four year period for an undergraduate and is based on theprinciples of Project Based Learning (PBL), a theme which has been elaborated upon inprevious ASEE conference papers (Bischof et al., 2007; Bratschitsch et al., 2009).Briefly, the degree’s structure is broken into three distinct project phases, which take place inthe 2nd and 3rd semesters (phase 1), the 5th and 6th semesters (phase 2) and the 7th semester(phase 3). In each phase, the subjects in the syllabus are designed to compliment each otherand motivate student learning, and the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) programme isdesigned to support and correlate with each phase including the project objectives

Many organizations participate in the co-op program to develop future employees, offering permanent positions to numerous former co-op students after graduation. Fellowships are typically a merit-based scholarship, or form of academic financial aid.

Pennsylvania.While the benefits to the students are vital, the impact of a co-op program goes beyond thestudents. Industry can gain benefit by obtaining staffing for projects at a substantially reducedrate (and typically without the benefits overhead). Moreover, by hiring interns and co-opstudents, industry can develop a recruiting system that allows them to make better hiringdecisions than can be done via a resume and interview alone.The benefit also extends to the higher education institutions. An organized co-op program canhelp the institution develop relationships with regional and national industry. Thoserelationships can be valuable in many ways.

One subject experienced a negative first workassignment which ties back to the importance of quality work assignments for engineeringstudents and the importance of feeling like part of the team. This subject mentioned that hergroup “set me up pretty poorly…with how it was run. So that was kind of discouraging because Icould not show up and no one would notice. So I hated that.” She mentioned that she overcameher negative feelings about the group by proactively seeking information from others in hergroup and learning all that

In an in-depth study of students who switchedout of science, math, and engineering majors, 77.9% of women cited discouragement and loss ofself-esteem as a factor in switching.15Hackett and Betz16 were the first to use self-efficacy to explain the career development ofwomen, especially in male-dominated career domains.
