  • EEC 192: Internship for Academic Credit – Instructions & Requirements

  • To earn academic credit for an off-campus internship through the Electrical and Computer
    Engineering (ECE) department, you must have a faculty sponsor from the ECE department.
    Sponsors from other departments are not permitted.

    Once enrolled in EEC 192, your ECE faculty sponsor will oversee your academic progress during
    the internship. Your academic advisor will provide the CRN (Course Registration Number)
    needed for course enrollment.

    You will earn 1 unit of academic credit for every 30 hours of internship work, up to a
    maximum of 6 units, which may be applied toward your technical elective requirements.

    Required Form & Documentation
    Please complete the ECE 192 Internship for Academic Credit Form, which consists of four
    pages:
    ●  Pages 1–2: To be completed and signed by you and your ECE faculty sponsor
    ●  Pages 3–4: To be completed by your site supervisor upon internship completion
    You will also need to submit a written report, or any other materials as required by your faculty
    sponsor. These documents will be used to assign a Pass/No Pass grade for the course.

    Summer Enrollment Option
    If you choose to enroll in EEC 192 during a summer session, please note that you will be
    responsible for all summer tuition and fees.

    To avoid these additional costs, you may consult with your faculty sponsor about the possibility
    of registering for EEC 192 in the fall term instead, even if your internship occurs in summer. In
    this case, your course credit and grade will appear on your fall transcript once all
    documentation is submitted and reviewed.

    Step-by-Step Process
    1. Meet with your academic advisor.
    To begin the process of enrolling in EEC 192 (Internship for Academic Credit), you must
    schedule an advising appointment to discuss your interest in the course. During your
    advising session, please come prepared with a written proposal that includes the
    following:
    ● Student information: Name, major, GPA, academic standing, contact information
    ● Nature of the internship project (brief description of the work you'll be doing)
    ● Site supervisor’s name, title, and contact information
    ● Internship duration (start and end dates)
    ● Expected weekly hours
    ● Number of academic units requested (based on total internship hours: 1 unit =
    30 hours)
    ● ECE faculty sponsor’s name (must be from the ECE department)
    Your proposal will help determine eligibility and ensure you are properly supported
    throughout your internship experience.

    2. The ECE Advisor will review your proposal and the completed EEC 192 form.
    They will then communicate with the student’s desired faculty advisor and share their
    proposal details.

    3. The faculty member will review the proposal, structure the academic requirements,
    and schedule a meeting with the student.

    4. Obtain your faculty sponsor’s signature. If the faculty agrees to be your sponsor, they
    will then sign the EEC 192 form. Once this is done, you will return the completed form to
    your academic advisor.

    5. Submit the signed form to your academic advisor to receive a CRN and register for the
    course. If it is after the registration deadline, a PTA (Permission to Add) request will be
    required.

    6. Enroll in the course with the appropriate number of units, as determined in
    consultation with your faculty sponsor and site supervisor.

    7. At the end of your internship, have your site supervisor complete the final two pages
    of the form.

    8. Submit the final documentation and any additional materials as directed by your
    faculty sponsor
