- [00:00:00.400]Internships are a huge deal in the department
- [00:00:02.850]of Computer Science and Engineering.
- [00:00:04.710]In fact software engineering
- [00:00:06.140]requires students to have internships
- [00:00:07.930]as a part of their graduation requirements,
- [00:00:10.269]and in computer science and computer engineering,
- [00:00:13.070]say you take a summer internship,
- [00:00:14.710]you can count that as credit hours towards your degree.
- [00:00:18.220]This past summer after my freshman year,
- [00:00:20.430]I had the opportunity to work at Huffman Engineering, Inc.
- [00:00:23.400]And they're a systems integrator based in Lincoln,
- [00:00:27.220]and it's an experience I would definitely
- [00:00:29.190]recommend for everybody.
- [00:00:31.310]It was a lot of taking what I had learned in class
- [00:00:33.980]and being able to apply it to industry
- [00:00:35.830]and see how a lot of those processes and things work
- [00:00:38.240]that we couldn't necessarily look at in a classroom setting.
- [00:00:41.610]And it was really really cool to have a project
- [00:00:44.530]that Huffman had bid on and won
- [00:00:46.750]and then being able to write a software program
- [00:00:49.819]that they actually used in their implementation
- [00:00:52.410]for another company, and so to have my own software
- [00:00:55.300]be out doing actual things in the real world
- [00:00:57.830]is just kind of wild to me.
- [00:01:01.330]And the department also puts on career fairs every semester
- [00:01:04.600]which are a great opportunity for students to be able
- [00:01:06.750]to meet potential employers for internships
- [00:01:09.619]either in the summer, fall, spring, you name it
- [00:01:12.530]it's a great way to introduce and I'd highly recommend it.
