Where can I get the Internship Agreement Form?

Mr. Nitterright's website or ANGEL. |

What work/projects are acceptable for the summer
internship program?
|
Internships are sought in the areas of applied
design, process development, plant engineering, etc., which hold the student
accountable for the outcome. Tasks such as drafting and laboratory
technician support will not be acceptable for the baccalaureate internship
experience. Also, problem solving activities in which the student uses
their academic experiences from the MET program are acceptable.

Who do I contact about the internship for answering
my questions or submitting my paperwork?

|
What is the process for enrolling in the MET495
course before the spring semester ends?
|
1. Complete the Internship Agreement Form (IAF)
Worksheet with your employer. The form can be obtained from Mr. Nitterright's
website. You should discuss with your employer if there will be any
confidentiality issues with presenting the work you perform with faculty.
If there will be an issue, contact Mr. Nitterright immediately to see if there
is a solution.
2. Once the form is completed, click on the
"Sign-Up for a 2009 Summer Internship." Enter the information and submit.
3. You will receive emails letting you know the
status of your proposed IAF. 4. If
your IAF is approved by both Mr. Nitterright and Mr. Johnson, you will be
automatically enrolled in the course. Once you receive confirmation that
you are enrolled you will need to pay for the course as a summer course. |
|
What do I do if my internship employer has stated
that I need to sign a confidentiality agreement or states that I am not
permitted to share the work I completed during my internship?
|
First, you need to discuss this issue with Mr.
Nitterright immediately upon finding out there is or maybe a confidentiality
issue. We can work with you and your employer to overcome the issue.
|
|
What are the requirements of my internship employer?
|
They have 3 main responsibilities: sign the
internship agreement form, challenge the student with engineering work or
engineering related work, and complete the student evaluation at the end of the
internship.
|
|
Do I have to pay for the course as a summer course
or as a fall course?
|
You need to pay for the course as a summer course
and not as a fall course. You will not receive a grade or be allowed to
graduate until the payment has been received for the summer course.
|
|
Are there any changes to MET495 coming up in the
summer of 2009?
|
YES! Students will no longer be required to
write a paper; however, students will give an oral presentation to MET faculty
at the start of the fall semester. This will require that students receive
a "DF" grade. The "DF" grade is a deferred grade that will disappear and
change to the grade the student earns after their presentation. |
