Recommended Preparation: Computer experience or the completion of a computer literacy class.

Occupational Internship: Paid 75-300/Unpaid 60-240 Engineering The purpose of this course is to enable eligible students to include supervised on-the-job training as an integral part of the total college educational program. This is accomplished through a planned program of learning experiences which combines academic and vocational learning at school with new learning experiences on the job in an occupational setting. *NOTE: TBA (to be arranged) hours are included in the total hours listed above. May be taken 4 times for credit. Prerequisite: Each student must be enrolled for the full semester and have completed one course in the discipline. A training agreement must be completed prior to registration. Please refer to the Occupational Internship Student Handbook for specific information.
