193.11.6 Industrial Internship Program

    An Industrial Internship Program, similar to a co-op program, is offered to students in the Specialization or Honors programs in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (see §193.1.9 for guidelines to the program). The Industrial Internship designation will appear on the degree parchments of students who have participated in the program.

    Students approved to enter this stream register for a continuous sequence of Science Work Experience courses (WKEXP 955, 956, 957, 958), starting in May, September or January. During the program, students are considered full-time students of the University. Work experience courses have no weight and are graded credit/no credit, and recorded on the student's transcript. The Industrial Internship Program Advisor maintains contact at approximately three-month intervals with the student and the person designated by the employer to be responsible for the student's progress. This arrangement ensures satisfaction on all sides. If the review shows the situation is not satisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student would then return to classes at the next available opportunity. The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956 plus MATH or STAT 400. MATH or STAT 400 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student's written report and oral presentation in MATH or STAT 400 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student's performance during the work term. Based on the student's written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in MATH or STAT 400. Neither MATH 400 nor STAT 400 can be used for credit toward a Specialization or Honors degree offered by the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.

    Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences for more information.
