Beyond the classroom
college of engineering, technology, and computer science
Take a break from your books.
Studying and taking tests is important, but so is going beyond the classroom to maximize your college experience. Check out the options you have to make the most of your time at Purdue Fort Wayne.
Internships, Co-Ops, and Jobs
Get the experience you need.
Co-op is short for cooperative education, a three-way relationship between students, employers, and the university. This program will give you the opportunity to see how classroom theory relates to actual employment situations. You will earn a competitive wage and may earn academic credit. You can alternate semesters of full-time study with full-time employment, or you can work part-time while attending classes.
Our departments offer many options for cooperative-education experiences. Regular co-op positions, work-study internships, and practicum positions are available, and many departments offer laboratory or teaching assistantships. Contact our Student Success Center to learn more.
