(Source 9)We can all agree that classroom learning is practical and effective but performance or practiceoriented education, where students are able to learn from working in the real world can be muchmore valuable. Northeastern’s renowned Cooperative Education program, where students are able Page 23.16.3to work in a professional setting related to their field of study and attain increased responsibility, isnaturally viewed as an untapped resource.

Cooperative education provides opportunities for students to engage inexperiential education, integrating academic course work with practical work experience. Whilemany sources have commented on the affective benefits of cooperative education, this paperexamines the literature to assess the academic value of cooperative education.Faculty, Student and Employer Views on Cooperative EducationRelatively little is known about how engineering faculty value, account for, and

designproblems related to specific courses have become common tools for teaching skills such asworking in teams, solving open-ended problems, and communicating both technical and non-technical information. While these methods have met with significant success, continuedexpansion of curricular-based approaches is constrained by competition for limited class timewith the varied other demands on the undergraduate engineering curriculum. In addition, “open-ended” projects often require significantly higher demands on faculty than traditional structuredlectures and assignments.External design competitions, either independent or sponsored by a professional society or otherorganization, provide an additional approach to augment the engineering education
