Electrical Engineering (EE)

Overview

Electrical Engineers often work in cross-functional teams to design, build, market, and support electronic products. In addition, they sometimes modify and create technologies, work with materials, and develop and engage problem-solving methods related to electronic development. Products that electrical engineers work with can range from cell phones and CAT scanners to power grids that deliver vital electricity to communities and more.

Today's Electrical Engineers use a number of skills, such as designing, building, and marketing of electronic products. MECOP interns focusing on Electrical Engineering build a foundation of knowledge in math, physics, and chemistry while gaining real-world experience in electronics and related disciplines.

Internship Timeframes

The following timeframes have been laid out by our participating universities for when an internship should be offered. These timeframes have been structured to allow students to participate in the program and not fall behind on their upper-division coursework schedule beyond the terms that internships overlap.

Coursework Requirements

Each participating university discipline has a set of required courses that must be taken to stay on schedule for program participation. These requirements are optimized to provide the necessary skills to participate in MECOP's internships while minimizing the amount of time added to receiving a degree. If you are a student and want to discuss your current academic qualifications and to plan out your curriculum for participation, please see our directory of advisors.
