Co-op is an educational experience which integrates academic and career interests with industry experience. Students convert theory into practice, applying classroom knowledge to work situations, learning information and skills to enhance future coursework.
Cornell Engineering students are self-reliant, ready, confident in their abilities, and eager to learn. Employers who hire Co-ops gain more than outstanding apprentices-they have the opportunity to observe and groom prospective full-time employees.

Still Hiring Spring 2020 Co-ops?
Amazing Cornell Engineering students are seeking opportunities.
Please contact Julie at engr_coop@cornell.edu or 607-255-3512 to request a resume file.
This could be for the following co-op terms: Spring/Summer 2020, Summer/Fall 2020, and/or Fall 2020/Summer 2021.
Co-op students work full-time for one semester and one summer. A unique feature of Cornell's Co-op program is that participating students are available for full-time opportunities after four years of study, a full year earlier than co-op students at most universities. Co-op students, who are in the upper half of their class while majoring in an Engineering or Computer Science field, complete 28 weeks of work between two work terms.
Most students participating in the spring 2020 Co-op recruiting season will be available to begin Co-op work assignments for the fall 2020 term in late August. The majority of students are seeking a fall work term, and notably Chemical Engineering, Material Science, and Biological engineering majors are usually only available for a fall, rather than spring work term, in addition to being available for the summer work term.
Three possible co-op job posting options:
We will host Co-op Student/Employer Networking events in February.
If you/your team will be coming to campus at another time in the spring and are interested in holding an information session, you can make arrangements with one of the Engineering student organizations.
Most Co-op interviews take place in February.

...my Co-op assignment was probably the single most influential experience during my time at Cornell. Hands down, it was the best decision I've made for my education after deciding to come to Cornell in the first place.
