For example, in the most recent program, students heard a series ofpresentations on topics such as innovative energy generation and carbon sequestration andtraveled on field trips to sites such as waste-to-energy, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants.The students were in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Trondheim, Bergan and Oslo as the three-weekprogram progressed.

More specifically, around 450 skilled workerswill be required for each of the eight nuclear plants planned for Texas, among the thirty-oneplants planned for the U.S.A. This number translates to a need for 3600 skilled workers in Texas,two-thirds of whom are expected to hold plant technician positions with a two-year degree, andone-third holding a four-year degree in engineering disciplines, including nuclear engineering,mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering technology 9 .Texas A&M University Corpus

Some opportunities are offered for up to a whole year working full time, whileothers are shorter, often one semester long or part time. Sometimes even one day or week is all thetime that a host organization can offer.Four models of internship/cooperative work are described in the following section.
