One of the goals of Iron Range Engineering is to provide students with engineering work experience to prepare them for their careers. Internships and co-ops are great ways of getting that experience before taking on a full-time career. The downside is that co-ops can increase the length of schooling because students normally need an extra semester to accomplish this. Now, IRE is offering the option for senior students to work on professional and design competencies while completing a co-op. This option takes the place of working on a semester project, and students will still be able to graduate within 4 years. As of now, about 2-3 students will be in co-ops next semester, including myself (I will be working at the Boise paper mill in International Falls, MN). It will be very busy (40 hour work week plus learning), but it will be a great learning experience.
