The Engineering Design Clinic (ENGR 480/481) is the capstone class for engineering majors where each group collaborates with a company to work on a real world problem specific to each company. Another program offered at St Thomas is the internship co-op program where a student works as an intern for a company that collaborates with St Thomas part-time in the fall and full-time in the winter; upon completion of this program, the student will write a paper and present their experience and receive four elective credits. Many of the clubs at St. Thomas also host speaker events with professionals related to the industries that collaborate with St. Thomas.</span></span>
