Practical Training

Catalog description

For students majoring in Mathematical and Computational Science only. Students obtain employment in a relevant industrial or research activity to enhance their professional experience. Students may enroll in Summer Quarters only and for a total of three times. Students must first notify their MCS adviser before enrolling in their course section, and must submit a one-page written final report summarizing the knowledge/experience gained upon completion of the internship in order to receive credit.Please note that F-1 international students enrolled in their department's CPT course cannot start working without first obtaining a CPT-endorsed I-20 from Bechtel International Center (enrolling in the CPT course alone is insufficient to meet federal immigration regulations).
