The career internship course is designedfor students interested in pursuing a career in biomedicalor electronics engineering technology. The outcome of the internship is an informedstudent fully apprised of the opportunities his/her degree program offers for professional growth. During the internship phase of training,the student will experience various aspects of working in the actual field in which the student has been educated. The internship is designedto provide the student with the opportunity to experience and participate in duties typical of a contemporary workplace setting. Studentlearning will center on observing experienced personnel as well as participating in actual hands-on procedures under close supervision oftrained professionals. 4.00 credit hours. Prerequisite: Final semester, program GPA of 2.50 or better, and PD 214 AS/AAS/BS/DiplomaInternship Preparation.394 Herzing UNIVERSITY undergraduate Catalog May 2012
