Today, hundreds of thousands of students across thecountry, studying everything from accounting to zoology, continue this growing educationalexperiment, combining traditional classroom learning with paid, major-related professionalexperiences, just like those first University of Cincinnati co-ops. Despite this long history and thegreat benefits to students, little was known about the faculty‟s reaction to cooperative education.In 2005, Contomanolis4 surveyed engineering faculty at the six largest engineering

The research resultssuggested that universities must do more than “tinker with the edges of the curriculum.” Acomprehensive approach is needed, and relevant work experiences should be a primecomponent.4Work abroad experiences allow students to prepare for the global

Two examples of experientiallearning opportunities are internships and cooperative learning (co-op) programs.

Page 26.1091.3The Role of Building RelationshipsIn order to undertake challenging design and build projects with industry sponsors, a substantiallevel of trust must be established between the university and the sponsors. Such projects requirean understanding of the capabilities of the student teams on the part of the corporate sponsors, aswell as an understanding of the culture and expectations of their corporate partners by thestudents and faculty. This level of trust requires long term planning, development, and nurturing.The engineering programs as Grand Valley State University were launched at the request of localindustry in the 1980’s.

Since studentsare expected to be problem-solvers within the engineering workplace after graduation, itis important that they understand the nature of those problems that they will encounterand the specific challenges they are going to face in the real world.Not many researchers have investigated students’ perceptions of engineering workplaceproblem solving. Some of the existing studies we have found suggest that students mightnot have a good understanding of engineering workplace.

Students combine academic course workwith paid employment in fields related to their course of study. They secure academic creditthrough course registration and pay fees for all quarters on work assignment.
