Other Courses of Instruction
The courses listed in this category are of two types:
- general courses for engineering students; and
- courses taken by students participating in the Engineering Cooperative Education Program.
I. General Courses for Engineering Majors (ENG)
II. Cooperative Education Program (ECOP)
The School of Engineering offers a cooperative education program (Co-op) for students majoring in any field in the School of Engineering. The Co-op curriculum is a program that combines classroom study with a planned program of related engineering or computer science work experience in industry and government agencies. The program extends the period necessary to complete a student’s degree to at least five years. Co-op students gain work experience that enhances their academic studies and provides the opportunity to earn a major portion of college expenses.
This experience allows students to better understand their field of study through work in a related area.
The following rules apply to students seeking to participate in the ECo-op program:
- Co-op programs for School of Engineering students are approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
- Co-op experiences are in the area of engineering or computer science, and the student works as an engineer or computer scientist, or similar job classification. Examples of work that do not meet this guideline are: technician, computer network or database manager, webmaster, etc.
- Co-op experiences are supervised by an engineer or computer scientist, or someone with equivalent experience. A short resume of the proposed supervisor must be submitted to the Associate Dean with the Co-op application.
- The Co-op work should mostly be performed at the sponsor’s site. Telecommuting does not meet this requirement.
- Co-op jobs located on the UNM campus and/or performed for a unit, department, or division of UNM are not allowed.
- Normally, all paperwork, including applicable signatures and approvals for a Co-op position, should be completed before the first day of classes during the semester in which the work is to be performed. In unusual circumstances, the application may be completed and the Co-op started up to the end of the second week of classes.
The following academic conditions apply to students seeking to participate in the ECo-op program:
In addition, the student must have completed at least two semesters at UNM and have completed the normal first semester of his or her curriculum. A transfer student from another university or college becomes eligible for the Co-op Program upon completion of 12 credit hours in a degree program in the School of Engineering.
While on each work phase, Co-op students must register in ECOP 105. This registration maintains student academic status, including eligibility for dormitory, LoboCard, library and insurance. After completing each work phase, the undergraduate Co-op student is encouraged to register in one of the School of Engineering courses, Evaluation of Co-op Work Phase, for 1 credit hour. A maximum of 6 credit hours of academic credit earned from the Co-op work phase may be counted as technical elective credit toward the student’s undergraduate degree with the approval of the student’s department. For Computer Science majors, Co-op may be applied for credit only as a general elective. Co-op is not counted toward the requirements for a graduate degree.
