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

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

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.

company expectations, and, ac
cording to Dean McGuire, a typi
cal cooperative student will draw
a salary of about $750 per month
after the fourth work period.
“The program gives the student
excellent budget training,” Mc
Guire said. “The student is not
paid by the company during his
school periods and he must learn
to save enough during his work
periods to meet school expenses
the following semester. 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.
