BATTALION Tuesday, January 16, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 3 Engineering Students Gain Experience In Work-Study Program &M’s College of Engineering ffering outstanding engineer- students an opportunity to i both invaluable practical ex- ence in their chosen fields and earn money to finance their nation through the Cooperative cation Program, he program, headed by Col- of Engineering Assistant n J. G. McGuire, allows the lent participating in the pro to alternate semesters of ;he-job work experience with aroom studies. he cooperative program, be at TAMU in 1963, offers stu- ts a year-round study-work gram, with short vacation H —■ — —— periods between work and study, that will allow them to complete a Bachelor of Science degree pro gram in the usual four years in most cases. Dean McGuire said the program is beneficial not only to the stu dent but also to participating in dustry. The employer has the op portunity to take a long term look at the student for future employment plans, and the stu dent is given the chance to get to know the company to decide on his post-university career. “We find that permanent offers for employment are made by par ticipating companies about 90 per cent of the time, and the students Barcelona RESERVE A GREAT APARTMENT FOR FALL RENTAL OFFICE NOW OPEN FOR SELECTION 700 Dominik - Call 846-1709 for Information udent Section, Tennis Courts, Basketball and Volleyball wirts, T.V.

We have separate Girls’ Dorm. accept about 70 per cent of these offers,” McGuire said. “There is, however, no requirement that the company offer to hire the student, and the student is under no obli gation to accept a job offer.” There are two phases of the cooperative program at A&M. The Industrial phase places stu dents with companies for train ing in their major field of inter est. The Texas Engineering Ex periment Station Scholars pro gram takes outstanding coopera tive students and places them in research environments under leading scholars within the TA MU research structure. The more than 425 students currently enrolled in the coopera tive education program are placed with nearly 90 companies, pri marily in Texas. This gives A&M the largest engineering coopera tive program in the state. Students in the program are usually assigned to a participat ing company in pairs, allowing one student to work while the other attends class. The students change places each semester, al lowing a continuation in job pro ductivity for the company. While the primary goal of the program is met by giving the student a broader education in his chosen field, cooperative grad uates are in greater demand by industry. Graduates of the pro gram generally have more favor able starting salary offers, some as high as $1,000 per month. While in the program, the stu dent makes an average of $550 per month after two school peri ods, providing he measures up to A&M’s International Programs Gets Aid For Uruguay Work A&M’s International Programs Office has received a $147,493 subcontract with the U. S. Agen cy for International Development to provide agricultural consulting services to Uruguay. The AID contract is a con sortium agreement with Penn State the prime contractor and Michigan State and TAMU the subcontractors. Paul E. Creech, assistant director of the Interna tional Programs Office, serves as campus coordinator. Creech said the 15-month con tract began Jan. 1. He expects renewal in March of 1974. TAMU is involved in two phases. The contract includes $70,354 for agricultural produc tion and marketing services and $77,139 for agricultural develop ment planning and administra tion. Creech reported the agricul tural program is for the Uruguay Ministry of Agriculture. TAMU staff members, to be named later, will include a two- year assignment for an agricul tural economics advisor and a two-year tour for a citrus pa thologist. Short term assignments of two to three months will involve two agricultural economists, one citrus production advisor and one citrus entomologist. A&M has similar AID agree ments in Argentina and Domini can Republic.

We have found that most of the students adjust to the situation quite well.” Although most of the students find themselves away from cam pus during their work periods, they are considered full-time lab students and must submit a com prehensive research paper to Col lege of Engineering faculty mem bers at the end of each work period. The papers are of a high- level nature, and the students spend about 45 hours compiling information and presenting their information in a professional manner. “We find that the cooperative students are generally better mo tivated in their studies than those not in the program,” McGuire said. “While we do have some exceptional engineering students not enrolled in the cooperative program, the students in the pro gram generally make better grades than those who are in the total classroom environment.” Graduating high school students are encouraged to enter TAMU the summer after their gradua tion. They complete one or two semesters of classroom instruc tion to satisfy the College of En gineering faculty of their learn ing abilities. They then begin the alternate work and study periods and continue them until gradu ation.

Students working in the Bryan- College Station area are allowed to maintain on-campus residences during their work periods. On- campus employers include Data Processing Center and Campus Utilities. The Texas Highway De partment, city engineering of fices, and Alenco are among the local off-campus employers par ticipating in the program. State-wide employers include large urban utility companies, chemical and pertoleum com panies, and state engineering agencies. Texas high school and junior college students interested in the program are urged to contact TAMU’s College of Engineering for further information about the cooperative program. Dean Mc Guire said he welcomes direct contact with him from interested students. PAWN LOANS Money Loaned On Anything Of Value. Quick Cash For Any Emergency. See Us For Ready Cash Today.
