Industrial Intern Program

An industrial internship option (IIO - cooperative educational program) within the department offers an MSE student an opportunity to obtain valuable experience and insight from alternating periods in industry and on campus (beginning the spring after the sophomore year). The combination of learning while participating in an industrial environment with academic course work creates strongly motivated students and a personalized learning situation. Graduation with a B.S. degree occurs four and one-third calendar years after entering the university. Exceptionally able students may be admitted to a program leading to both the B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years. Students in the IIO program should consult with their faculty advisors before electing to participate in any of the designated minor programs.

Following the standard or industrial internship programs the graduate of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is well prepared for leadership in our highly technological society which continues to demand more and more from the materials used in engineered systems. Many of our graduates elect to continue their education to the Master's and Doctoral Level in order to satisfy their need for advanced education in the discipline.
