4. Justification for new course or course revision or renumbering:
This curriculum change is a part of a revision of the engineering program to
achieve several goals: 1) more closely align content with general engineering
programs; 2) adjust the timing and coverage of materials to support success in
the fundamentals of engineering exam; 3) adjust the sequence of science,
mathematics, and engineering courses to better integrate the content. These
changes have been developed and approved by the department faculty and
have been endorsed by the Engineering Advisory Board.
5. Course description exactly as it should appear in the next catalog:
3100 Internship in Engineering (1) (WI) (F, S, SS) P: Consent of instructor. Minimum of 150 hours of
supervised work or project experience in engineering. May include industry or service learning
activities and be repeated for credit as a technical elective.

ICEE 3100: Internship in Engineering
Required Texts: As needed
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, students shall be able to demonstrate knowledge of the engineering workplace and describe
critical factors related to a project or the organization.
 Organization purpose.
 Organizational structure.
 Project or work assignment purpose.
 Measures of success both personal and technical.
 Personnel policies of organization
 Methods used to communicate with employees and maintain morale.
 Service-learning projects develop an understanding of the role of engineering in social projects.
Course Outline:
Industry Based Supervised Internships
Internships with local, regional, national employers are an academic learning experience in which students gain practical
experience in applying theory.
Service-learning Projects
Service-learning is an academic learning experience in which students provide community service and reflect on their service
experience and connect it with their academic subject matter. Students have an opportunity to make contributions to their
community and neighborhoods and develop a deeper understanding of their academic course materials.
The student will:
 Define internship goals with supervisor
 Achieve these goals through work guided by supervisor or mentor
 Research and analyze attributes of the internship organization
 Provide logs and reports describing the progression of the internship
 Develop final notebook that will describe goals, duties, and thoughts
 Present summary report and evaluation of internship experience
Grading Policy and Assignments:
Students will be evaluated based on the combination of activities including assignments and a final notebook that will include
reports (signed by supervisor) and a summarization of the internship experience:
1.
2.
3.
Internship Log: Students maintain a reflective internship log. Internship logs will be due monthly and can be
emailed to the professor. Original with supervisor signature must be in the final report.
Analytical Assignments: Students are expected to explore and analyze specific areas of the organizational operation
of the employer. These assignments are due over the course of the semester in a specified sequence with the
Internship logs.
Final report and Supervisor Evaluation: At the completion of the internship, the student submits a summary report
including the work log, samples of the engineering work performed, the analytical assignments, and the evaluation
of the supervisor
Grades will be assigned based on completion of work experience, log, and final report.
