Guidelines for Co-op and Internship Report and Survey

Students are required to submit three deliverables upon completion of their internship or co-op employment: (i) student report, (ii) student survey; and (iii) employer survey. Students will receive a NC grade if the above are not received in a timely manner.

Student Report

Guidelines for the report is given below. Upload your report onto Canvas.

Student Survey Form

Students must fill out a student survey form which can be downloaded from Canvas. Upload the completed survey form onto Canvas.

Employer Survey Form

Students must have their supervisor fill out an employer survey form and return it to the CBE undergraduate program director, Nina Shapley at nshapley@soe.rutgers.edu. Download the employer survey form from Canvas and forward it to your supervisor/employer to complete. This survey asks the employer to evaluate the student employee and the quality of training and education that Rutgers has provided.

These three items must be completed after each semester. Students will receive a NC grade if these three items are not received by the CBE undergraduate program director in a timely manner.

Guidelines for the Report

Students must submit a report that summarizes their employment experience and relates the job experience to their CBE curricula. In particular, the report should include an introduction section that describes the employment position and responsibilities.

The body of the report should include:
 
• A description of the job tasks that you performed 
• How those related to chemical engineering 
• What courses and curricular lessons helped you in handling those tasks 
• What lessons you learned and what skills (technical and non-technical) were gained 
• Any possible feedback or recommendations that you might provide the company based on your experience 
• Any possible feedback or recommendations for the CBE department on how it could adapt/expand its curricula to better address employment training 
• Any other aspects you feel is relevant to your training 

For completeness, you should aim for roughly a 5-page report for a 1-credit internship, and roughly 10 pages for either a 2-3 credit internship or the 6-credit co-op employment.
