The M.Eng. with Industrial Internship field in Electrical and Computer Engineering requires students to take six term-length lecture-based courses, up to two of which can be fourth-year undergraduate courses. In addition, internship students take two term-length internship project courses (ELEC 895 Industrial Internship I and ELEC 896 Industrial Internship II), for a total of eight courses.
