Internships
• Internships while studying very valuable for students and employers alike
• Provide practical experience as part of student’s engineering/CS education.
• Provides for foot in the door for intern at sponsoring company
• Provide potential employers with opportunity to closely evaluate a prospective employee
International Internships• Value of internship rises dramatically if international• Provides a wealth of experiences that go much
beyond technical and corporate experience of domestic internship
• Cultural enrichment• Possibly learning a second language• Evidence of risk-taking by the student
• Multi-national companies highly value employees who have international experience
• Will give them priority in the hiring process
International Internships at UCF• The UCF CECS offers a limited number of
international internship positions• Very limited at this time, but hope to grow the number
of positions available.
• We are actively seeking candidates for next year• Summer 2019• Spring 2019 (if you hurry!)• Fall 2019.
• This session is to discuss these opportunities.

1. Six to eight credits of a foreign language, preferably at UCF
2. Three credits of cultural coursework at overseas partner institution
3. An experience abroad consisting of either:• Nine credits of engineering/technical coursework
