Industrial internships are an important part of the Rowan Engineering Programs. These internships are designed with industrial partners to provide the optimum learning experience for students as well as research opportunities and industrial contacts for the College of Engineering. Rowan University offers an innovative internship model that involves students, faculty, industrial partners and Career and Development Center staff. This team approach to internships leads to enhanced student development and strong relationships between the University and its industrial partners. The team approach to internship development has served to enhance students’ technical as well as human relations skills. Workshops designed to enhance student development and marketability include topics such as resume writing, communication skills and team dynamics.
