Cooperative Education Program
The College of Engineering
and Science is cooperating with certain industrial firms in a
plan of alternate periods of work and university study for students
in engineering, technology, and science. The Cooperative Education
Program provides one of the best methods for intergrating technical
theory and practical industrial experience.
The
Cooperative Education Program will allow the student to have approximately
one year of practical experience by the time of graduation. If
the student accepts permanent employment with the cooperating
company the necessity for taking special company orientation and
training courses is usually eliminated. The Cooperative Education
Program does not obligate the graduate to accpet employment with
the cooperating company, nor does it obligate the company to offer
permanent employment to the graduate.
Each
student participating the Cooperative Education Program is required
to register at Louisiana Tech during each work period.
Students
from any academic program within the College of Engineering and
Science will be considered for participation in the Cooperative
Education Program provided they have successfully completed 45
semester credit hours of university work with a grade point average
of at least 2.5. Requirements for graduation and the degree earned
are the same as those for regular students. Individuals interested
in further details should contact Bill
Elmore Director of Cooperative Education Program, College
of Engineering and Science, Louisiana Tech University, Ruston,
LA 71272.
