Ravindra’s Answer

One essential aspect of an engineering undergraduate education is the importance of gaining practical engineering experience before graduation. These days, experience is a requirement for those who want a position in a corporation as well as those who plan to continue their education to the masters or PhD level. Fortunately, there are many opportunities to gain this experience through the university, including the Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering (SURE) program, the co-op program, summer internships, student team projects and research positions. Take advantage of Michigan Engineering’s Engineering Career Resource Center (ECRC). An ambitious student can obtain experience easily with a little effort.

Clay’s Answer

In my opinion, if you are able to get a co-op with an aerospace company, I would recommend taking it. First and foremost, I would focus on securing a summer internship. A summer internship should be your primary goal since it will get your foot in the door.


If you are interested in continuing with that company, I think it’s a great opportunity to continue to work for them in a co-op to help your odds of going there post-graduation.


Before doing a co-op, it’s important to be sure that it is the field that you want to go into. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend looking at co-ops until at least your sophomore year.


Hope that helps!
