Co-Ops and Internships

There's no better way to find your engineering passion than to spend time exploring your interests in the workplace. UD engineering students work locally, nationally and even internationally while maintaining their full-time student status.

The University of Dayton School of Engineering Co-op and Internship Office helps you solidify your career choices or evolve in directions you never anticipated. That's because at UD, experiential learning is not a formula. It's a tool for the formation of young engineers.
