The student is supervised like any new person on the job and is expected to work toward significant contributions for the employer. The program has proven to be beneficial to both employer and student. Paper work is minimal, limited to an agreement signed by the student, the instructor, and the host company's supervisor. Student evaluation is based upon verbal communication by phone or in the person between supervisor and the instructor who also makes a site visit when it is logistically practical. During the course of the internship the instructor makes one or two visits to the site if it's geographically possible.
Otherwise contact is by phone.
The employer's willingness to help in this matter has been gratifying and much appreciated by the university as well as by the students. For more information on the internship click here or contact Dr.
