4820 Internship for Engineering Practice
The engineering programs encourage all students to participate in at least one summer of engineering internship work. The engineering internship experience is very important to providing real-world application of the classroom experience and also has become an expectation by employers of engineers internationally. This course allows international students in F-1 status majoring in engineering at Oklahoma Christian University to participate in Curricular Practical Training. Enrollment in this course will be under the supervision of an individual engineering professor. A journal or summary paper of the internship experience will be required at the conclusion of the employment period. 1 to 3 credit hours.
