between an academicinstitution and an employer designed to engage students in practical engineering experiencethrough rotations of full-time employment and course study. Co-op employment providesstudents with discipline-relevant professional experience and early entry into the engineeringlabor force while serving as a recruitment tool for co-op companies. While much is known aboutthe value of cooperative education programs, relatively little is known about why there aredifferent rates of participation by race/ethnicity and how recruitment and pre-screening practicesinfluence the diversity of students who participate in co-op programs. The objectives of thisresearch project are to identify factors that influence student access to cooperative

Attention is also given todifferent career options such as research and development and entrepreneurship. Guest speakersare brought in to talk to the class about these options. During these lectures students areintroduced to the concepts behind funding a research project, Intellectual Property and Non-Compete Agreements, and the like.

Students receive an introduction to the Engineering Design Process (EDP), are taught howto apply the EDP in developing and testing a prototype, and are required to make a presentationabout their solution to the core problem. Presentations must include an outline of how the EDPwas applied and a demonstration of their prototype. Programs such as this provide aninterdisciplinary, project-based learning
