Unlike a standard summer internship, our co-op program enables a multi-rotation, immersive industry placement so students can lead deeper technical projects and integrate seamlessly into your workforce. Learn more about the program benefits on our website, or schedule a time to meet to discuss how a co-op student can support your upcoming goals. 

Dates: Wednesday, October 28 – Thursday, October 29, 2026

Location: Benton Hall

Details: Introduce your company to first-year engineering and computing students in an informal setting during their required intro course. Shifts of 2–4 hours are available both days.

How to Join: Email Jenni Szolwinski to join the priority list, and we will send you the sign-up link as soon as registration opens!

Whether you want to build brand awareness or connect 1-on-1 with students, we offer several flexible ways to get on campus:

Lobby Tabling: Set up a table in the Benton Hall or McVey Data Science Building lobby during high-traffic class transitions to meet engineering and computing students in an informal setting.

Information Sessions: Host a dedicated company presentation or panel to highlight your corporate culture, open roles, and hiring process.

Mock Interview Days: Volunteer to conduct practice behavioral or technical interview sessions to help students sharpen their skills. Express your interest here.

Get Involved: Ready to host an event or secure a tabling date? Email us to express your interest and hold your preferred dates.

Time is running out to secure a project for the upcoming academic year! Sponsoring a senior design capstone gives your organization direct access to senior student teams solving real technical challenges over two semesters. Projects are being finalized now, so please submit your Capstone Project Application today!

Equip your summer intern cohort with specialized skills before they arrive on-site! Companies sponsor Miami students to attend intensive winter-term workshops and receive priority access to recruit them for summer internships:

SASI (Systems Automation Springboard to Internships): Process control and industrial automation.

MARI (Maintenance and Reliability Internship): Asset management and reliability engineering.

Stay up to date with the latest innovations, breakthroughs, and developments across Miami CEC:

Leadership in AI: CEC Dean Beena Sukumaran was selected for the inaugural Ohio AI25 List, honoring leaders shaping the future of artificial intelligence across the state.

Advanced Computing Infrastructure: Miami launched the Talon Cluster, a high-performance supercomputing platform that advances AI research while leveraging green geothermal energy.

New Academic Opportunities: Miami introduced a new Construction Management Minor and industry-backed scholarship opportunities.

K-12 STEM Outreach: CEC received a Gold Purposeful Partner Award for its impactful STEM outreach programs supporting local K-12 students.

Let’s connect! I’d love to meet with you to customize your engagement strategy for the upcoming year. Schedule a meeting with me!
