Computer Science majors in the
McCormick School of Engineering
have access to several special programs:
Cooperative
Engineering-Education Program
Cooperative engineering education
is designed to provide alternate periods of industrial experience
and classroom work for undergraduate students in all departments
of engineering and applied science. During 18 months of industrial
employment, a student is afforded the opportunity of applying
theory while gaining practical experience. The perspective gained
enables the student to develop an understanding of the responsibilities
of his future professional career. Details of the cooperative
program can be obtained on request.
Technological Institute Honors Program in Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate Honors Program
Students with a good scholastic
record may be admitted to the Undergraduate Honors Program any
time during the junior or pre-senior year. At the time of admission,
the student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5
or better. Any student who becomes eligible will be so notified
by the Dean. An honors student participating in the program must
complete at least three units of approved advanced study (including
courses normally accepted at the graduate level) with an average
grade of B or better, and complete an extended independent study
project (at least two quarters on the same topic) leading to an
acceptable report.
Successful completion of one of the Honors programs will be noted
on the student's transcript. Recognition will also be given in
the commencement program. If a student's individually evaluated
performance is not judged to meet the standards of success, the
student will receive course grades and credits as earned.
