What non-class educational opportunities are available to EE students at PSU?
What non-class educational opportunities are available to EE students at PSU?
Co-operative Education (co-op)• Students alternate periods of school and
engineering-based work to get great hands-on industrial experience
• The co-op experience earns credit and is paid
