Experience and Employment
Whether you choose to participate in undergraduate research, a student project team, a cooperative education program or internships in industry, professional experiences in a hands-on environment will enhance your experience, expand your résumé, and help you identify areas of interest to fine-tune your curriculum.
There are many options when it comes to getting industry experience. You could conduct research, complete an internship or co-op, to name a few.
