( please note that ABET is not a requirement for non-technical Majors )

There are three different periods of internships coinciding with the academic year, and students must indicate which semester they are applying for.  These semesters are:  Fall, Spring and Summer.  Acceptance is based on all factors listed above and the number of internships available. Undergraduate students will receive a stipend of $500.00 a week.  This stipend is for the period of the internship only.  All issues involving academic credit for this internship is a matter between the student and the institution they are attending.
