Unpaid Internships? Talk to Ana in the College of Engineering Co-Op / Internship office!

Unpaid internships in engineering are not often offered, but it does occur. When students are offered unpaid positions I’m here to advocate on your behalf. The article linked below shows how far reaching the clamp-down on unpaid internships has progressed. We want to discourage EE students from accepting unpaid engineering-related “job” offers. Not only does the practice erode the integrity of paid internships for other students, it might even be found to be an illegal practice.
