Someone tells me my earlier post was hard to read because of html coding. Thanks. Here's an easier read. Sorry.
Robbie Rupel asks about co-ops from the company's perspective. As a new hire
at Michigan Tech who is charged with building up our internship program, I
would like to hear any responses that go to Robbie. In fact, I would like to
hear from any of you whose companies are actively seeking either student (BS,
MS, PhD) or faculty interns. We would love to build up a file of companies
for our students to contact.
