== <span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Co-op Program </span> ==
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">For GVSU’s Engineering program students must participate in a 3 semester co-op program. The last two years of an Engineer’s education, a student will alternate between co-op (usually at a company) and school every other semester. This allows students to apply what they have learned in real live situations and gain valuable industrial work experience. Typically students will get job offers after graduation with the company they co-oped with. The program also has a two semester long undergraduate senior project. </span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Not only does all this hands-on experience cause students to develop work ethic/economics and project management skills, it offers a more active participation in innovation and entrepreneurship.</span>
