It is another goal of SEE that 100% of SEE Scholars haveparticipated in an internship or co-op position by, at the latest, the summer immediatelyfollowing their 3rd year. To achieve this, we coordinate closely with The Center for SpartanEngineering (the CoE’s career services office). The Center hosts programs targeted at SEEScholars to help them prepare for interviews and the workplace. These programs positionstudents to compete for internships, co-ops, or other paid experiential education opportunities,with an average pay of $10,000/semester.

This case study compares thecurriculum and knowledge areas across multiple engineering departments at a university to thoseof the BAEN department. Knowledge gained from the study is then used to survey organizationswhich have employment positions which fit knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) that BAENstudents possess.

Undergraduate research promotes retention in STEM fields and serves as a pathway tograduate school and science careers​2,3​. For some undergraduate students, however, the process ofengaging in research can be chaotic, confusing, and discouraging, which limits the value of theirexperiences [2].

NECST, however, looks to interest undergraduatesclose to graduation, recent alumni, or returning students from any discipline in graduate study incomputer science. These interests are motivated as a change in career direction, or equally often as ameans to acquire skills, concepts, and frameworks that complement their original discipline or careerplans [4].
