MECOP Internship

The Computer Science Department, along with two other MCECS departments (ECE and ME), participates in the Multiple Engineering Cooperative Program (MECOP), which is an industry-run internship program that offers trained mentors and interesting experiences in a variety of regional companies. This is a highly competitive program, which requires an application and selection process. Once accepted, students do two six-month paid internships, in their junior and senior years, respectively. (For CS students, the internship terms are Spring-Summer.) Their undergraduate study will consequently be extended for two terms into their fifth year.  Eligibility requirements and a suggested study plan for those who are interested in this program are given below. 

Please visit the MECOP website for additional information.
