Northeastern University is recognized as one of the pioneers ofcooperative education where industrial experience is integrated into the curriculum.

Overthe years, coop jobs have migrated from intrinsically simple tasks to relatively importantfunctions where students actually join a project team and make significant contributions.Preparing them for these kinds of jobs requires more than the teaching of technical skills.Students must learn about group dynamics, teamwork and the acquisition and integration of newknowledge.

Key amongst theseis the potential for damage to the machine, tooling, work piece and injury to users from improperoperation. To prevent these occurrences, significant effort must be expended on the part ofinstructors and lab personnel in vetting programming assignments completed by students, and insupervising set-up and operation of a machine.
