    Criteria for Internship Placement

    To provide work experience in an occupational area. Advanced credit commensurate with time worked, type of work,variety of work experience, and the quality of research and development project. A person may choose to do the internship in an industrial and/or educational organization, in which case he or she would be assigned to work in an advanced technical-management, supervision and administration, quality control and human resource management capacity. In each case, conditions will be agreed upon by employer - supervisor, student, and graduate advisor priorto registration. Students are responsible for setting up the work site that is approved by their advisor.

    In order to be able to register and enroll in IET 690 – Internship, the student MUST be eligible to work in the United States, submit the employers’ official offer, complete and sign the application in page 5 of this document.

    1. Supervision is a key factor in identifying Internship placements. On-the-job supervision should be with the understanding that the student will be working directly under an individual's direction. That supervisor should be recognizable as a professional in the field.

    2. Internship also implies the student will or may be working more than one semester in his total college career. These work periods usually occur during at least one semester per calendar year frame.

    3. In reference to progressive placements, the student's responsibility and financial reimbursement should correlate with the student's academic level.

    4. Locations for placements should be viewed as representative of local and regional industries/businesses that ordinarily employ IET students and graduates so that the faculty can frequently visit the student at work. Specific involvement with day to day routines are better evaluated be faculty having expertise in that particular discipline.

    5. Final evaluation for job placements appropriate for Internship credit must be mutually agreed upon by Internship staff and academic faculty and/or administrative personnel.

    VII.   The student shall keep a "Log" or "Journal" of dates and hours worked with a short description of the work performed. This log or journal booklet should be kept with the student during their work experience and submitted at the end of the summer term/semester.

    VIII. The student shall write a summary and evaluation of their work experience describing how the experience benefited their program of study and career plan. Additionally, the summary should specify whether the student felt prepared for the work experience and what could have been done at the University to better prepare the student for the experience. This summary shall be a minimum of two (2) pages (typed, double-spaced, one-inch margins) and submitted at the end of the summer term/semester.

    IX.    The Internship course instructor shall schedule at least one visit with the student and employer during the summer term/semester.
