CO-OP and Summer Internships

Most students in civil & environmental engineering either perform an official co-op program or obtain summer internships. These programs are obtained through official university channels (University Career Center) or through our department’s advising newsletter that is published weekly by the Department and sent to all undergraduate and graduate students. Students can learn more about the university co-op program

Study Abroad Opportunities

Many students in civil & environmental engineering include a study abroad experience with their academic study. Students travel all over the world and should contact the Michigan Tech Center for International Education to learn about more specific opportunities.
