Cooperative & Experiential Education

Motivation and Maturity of Engineering and Engineering Technology Students with and without Co-Op ExperienceAbstractExperience-based education in the form of Co-Op is generally accepted as having a positivecorrelation with a student’s academic and early career performance. Unfortunately, most of theevidence is anecdotal or based on statistical studies of large databases. It does not explain whyand how a Co-Op experience correlates with enhanced student or employee performance. Thispaper proposes a model that can explain how Co-Op experience can result in better grades inschool and better performance at work. The paper also describes an experiment performed todetermine if students with Co-Op experience are more motivated

AbstractTypically, FEA courses are offered at a graduate level, covering the theoretical basis with littleor no effort to apply this technology to real problems. In some institutions, this course is offeredto seniors, but the content is also mostly theoretical.
