Co-op students work toward a bachelor of science degree in their chosen engineering field. SMU uses an individualized placement method based upon the unique goals of each student. SMU Co-op students are not forced into companies and companies are not forced to take a particular student.
Students compete, primarily against each employer s hiring standard, for job offers.
Participating in the co-op program does require a commitment for students who have a clear focus on engineering as a career in itself. And for those students, and for those students, about one-third of the total Engineering enrollment, the benefits are abundant.
