Co-op work experiences are paid, full-time, six-month positionsrelated to academic and career interests. Co-op is an optional and, in most cases, non-creditprogram. The CCSU program, the largest in Connecticut and one of the largest in New England,combines five months of on-campus study with six months of paid Co-op employment. Ourstudents gain the opportunity to apply textbook learning to on-the-job training. Throughparticipation in the Co-op program, students can graduate with up to two years of career-relatedwork experience and, possibly, with a job offer. Many Co-op students are offered

Design cannotbe made to fit neatly in a one-semester course at the end of an undergraduate education.There are also those that believe that design processes are particular to various industries andtherefore it would be overstepping boundaries to presume to teach such processes at theacademic level. While this may be true that at lower levels of abstraction where specificknowledge and details are important, at higher levels of abstraction it can be shown that the basicprocesses are quite similar across disciplines and domains.Others claim that engineering design processes are ad hoc and rely on creativity and experienceand thus should be addressed later during the student’s professional
