Cooperative Education units apply to free elective units only. The units cannot be used to substitute for degree requirements in the major, support, or general education. However, Computer Engineering does allow up to 4 units of CPE 400 credit based on an approved co-op experience to be used towards technical elective credit. Students must meet with the CPE Co-op Advisor upon completion of their coop to discuss their coop experience. If the CPE Co-op Advisor agrees the coop experience merits technical elective credit, the student will be directed to enroll in CPE 400 for the unit value agreed upon.

To receive credit, students must list CPE 400 on their technical elective form and attach a completed CPE 400 special problems form (available in the Advising Center) approved by the CPE Co-op Advisor (this is done once the co-op is completed and any outstanding requirements specified by the CPE Co-op Advisor have been met).

Note: Students should meet with the CPE Co-op Advisor prior to going on co-op to discuss the specific co-op requirements. Students should call the CPE Department to idenitify the CPE Co-op Advisor.
