193.1.9 Industrial Internship Program The Industrial Internship program (IIP) offers undergraduate students extended work experience in industry in addition to their academic courses. The work experience is normally undertaken after completion of a minimum of 75, and not more than 105, units of course weight of an Honors or Specialization degree program. Students who have maintained good academic standing in an Honors or Specialization program are eligible for the program. Department IIP Advisors will provide approved position descriptions from companies wishing to employ IIP students. Companies are responsible for interviewing and selecting students for the positions. The internship may begin in May, September or January and must be of at least 8 months duration, but may extend to up to 16 months; a 16-month internship normally includes a four-month probationary period. Work during the internship period is full time, for which the student is paid by the employer at competitive rates. The student, employer and the department must agree to terms of the internship. Following completion of the work experience, students return to the university to complete their degree program of studies. It is not possible to guarantee that all students wishing to obtain an internship will be able to do so. During the period of the internship, the student registers in a work experience (WKEXP) course each term and is considered a full-time student at the University of Alberta. Work experience courses are assigned no units of course weight and are graded credit/no credit. All students must register in a minimum of two WKEXP courses that have associated fees. These fees are used to cover Department costs of job recruitment, supervision and site visits during the internship period, and program administration costs. During the first term following completion of the internship and return to the university, students must complete the academic requirements of the Industrial Internship. This normally takes the form of a report to the appropriate Advisor and/or Committee as well as to other students as part of a graded seminar course. Detailed information about the Industrial Internship is available from the IIP Advisor in each Department in the Faculty of Science.

193.1.10 Transfers Between Programs A student may transfer from an Honors program to either the corresponding Specialization program or to the General program, or from a Specialization program to the General program at any time in the program, by submitting a readmission form to the Faculty Office subject to appropriate deadlines. Transfers from the General program to a Specialization program or an Honors program or from one Specialization program to another or to an Honors program may be made according to the dates listed in §12. Also, transfers to Honors and Specialization programs require approval of the Department responsible for the new program. Note that transfer from BSc/BEd program to any of the BSc programs must take place no later than Year 2 to avoid loss of credit.

193.1.11 Completion of a BSc Degree After Transfer to Another Faculty

Students who transfer to another Faculty after completing part of a BSc program may reapply to the Faculty of Science after completing the degree from the other Faculty. A former student transferring to the Faculty of Science normally must complete at least *60 while registered in the Faculty of Science at the University. Courses completed in the Faculty of Science before transfer may count toward the minimum *60 that must be completed while registered in the Faculty of Science. Science or Arts courses taken while in another Faculty, which are clearly noted as “extra-to-degree” on the transcript, may fulfil specific subject requirements of a degree program in Science but will not fulfil the minimum residence requirement of the program

193.6.7 Industrial Internship Program Industrial Internship Program (IIP), similar to a co-op program, is offered to students in the Specialization or Honors programs in Computing Science (see §193.1.9 for program guidelines). The Industrial Internship designation will appear on the degree parchments of students who have participated in the program. Students approved to enter this stream register for a continuous sequence of Science Work Experience courses (WKEXP 955, 956, 957, 958), starting in May, September or January. During the program, students are considered full-time students of the University. Work experience courses have no weight and are graded credit/no credit, and recorded on the student’s transcript. The Industrial Internship Program Advisor maintains contact with the student and the person designated by the employer to be responsible for the student’s progress. The student’s progress is reviewed at approximately three-month intervals. If the review is unsatisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student would then return to classes at the next available opportunity. The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956 plus CMPUT 400. CMPUT 400 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student’s written report and oral presentation in CMPUT 400 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student’s performance during the work term. Based on the student’s written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in CMPUT 400. Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Computing Science for more information.

Current Proposed

An Industrial Internship Program, similar to a co-op program, is offered to students in the Specialization or Honors programs in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (see §192.11 for guidelines to the program). The Industrial Internship designation will appear on the degree parchments of students who have participated in the program. Students approved to enter this stream register for a continuous sequence of Science Work Experience courses (WKEXP 955, 956, 957, 958), starting in May, September or January. During the program, students are considered full-time students of the University. Work experience courses have no weight and are graded credit/no credit, and recorded on the student’s transcript. The Industrial Internship Program Advisor maintains contact at approximately three-month intervals with the student and the person designated by the employer to be responsible for the student’s progress. This arrangement ensures satisfaction on all sides. If the review shows the situation is not satisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student would then return to classes at the next available opportunity. The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956 plus EAS 401. EAS 401 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student’s written report and oral presentation in EAS 401 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student’s performance during the work term. Based on the student’s written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in EAS 401. Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences for more information.

193.11.6 Industrial Internship Program An Industrial Internship Program, similar to a co-op program, is offered to students in the Specialization or Honors programs in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (see §193.1.9 for guidelines to the program). The Industrial Internship designation will appear on the degree parchments of students who have participated in the program. Students approved to enter this stream register for a continuous sequence of Science Work Experience courses (WKEXP 955, 956, 957, 958), starting in May, September or January. During the program, students are considered full-time students of the University. Work experience courses have no weight and are graded credit/no credit, and recorded on the student’s transcript. The Industrial Internship Program Advisor maintains contact at approximately three-month intervals with the student and the person designated by the employer to be responsible for the student’s progress. This arrangement ensures satisfaction on all sides. If the review shows the situation is not satisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student would then return to classes at the next available opportunity. The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956 plus MATH or STAT 400. MATH or STAT 400 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student’s written report and oral presentation in MATH or STAT 400 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student’s performance during the work term. Based on the student’s written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in MATH or STAT 400. Neither MATH 400 nor STAT 400 can be used for credit toward a Specialization or Honors degree offered by the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences for more information.

If the review shows the situation is not satisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student would then return to classes at the next available opportunity. The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956 plus MATH or STAT 400. MATH or STAT 400 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student’s written report and oral presentation in MATH or STAT 400 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student’s performance during the work term. Based on the student’s written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in MATH or STAT 400. Neither MATH 400 nor STAT 400 can be used for credit toward a Specialization or Honors degree offered by the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences for more information.
