Students will receive three forms which will need to be returned via email to MAS director Penny Cliff at pcliff@clayton.edu

1. Internship contract signed by the student, Archives supervisor, and MAS director.
2. An evaluation of the student intern to be completed by the supervisor and returned to the professor grading the internship via email directly.
3. A student internship evaluation.

Learning Objective 1: Gain an understanding of a new programming language

ABC Incorporated uses C++ to create their software. At Clayton State, I have been exposed to the Java programming language, so the transition to C++ should not be too difficult. Ms. X will provide materials and tutorials for me to use to familiarize myself with C++.

Develop first-hand knowledge of the software development process

All of the experience that I have so far with software development has been through projects in class. This internship will allow me to experience how it works in the industry. I will work with Mr. Z and his team to find software solutions for Software Limited's clients.

 

Basic Information

• Students in Math need to take MATH 4986 Internship in Mathematics to complete an internship.

Eligibility Requirements

• MATH 4986: Math 3006 Communication in Mathematics with an ‘S’

Procedure to Enroll in Internship Courses

To complete an internship, you will need to complete the following:

1. Internship Learning Agreement (ILA). The ILA is essentially a contract between you, your internship supervisor, and Clayton State University. It must be signed by you and your site supervisor before submitting to Internship Coordinator. Access the CSIT ILA form.  Access the Mathematics ILA form.
2. Learning Objectives. This document should contain at least three (3) learning objectives. These describe what you are going to be able to learn by participating in this internship. There are guidelines and a sample to help you when writing this document, but here are a few things to keep in mind:
   • Be sure to work on these with your site supervisor as they can help you figure out what you will learn from this experience. 
   • Keep your learning objectives professional; that is, well organized and free of spelling and/or grammatical errors. 
   • A good rule of thumb is that if you wouldn't want to submit this document to your supervisor, then don't submit it to the faculty coordinator. 
   • Make sure you look over them before you submit to the faculty coordinator. The ILA will not be approved by the faculty coordinator until these are correct.

BIOL 3210 (Off-Campus Internship I) and BIOL 3211 (Off-Campus Internship II)

Registration for this course is by departmental permission only. An Off-Campus Internship is an excellent way to gain experience important for many employers, graduate schools, and professional schools. An Off-Campus Internship allows students to earn academic credit while gaining valuable experience. Before you register or contact the department coordinator for internships, look for a suitable internship opportunity that would give you job experience for the career that you want to have. The experience can either be paid or unpaid. For best results, start your search early so that all of the necessary paperwork can be completed well before the start of the semester. Once you have found a potential internship position, contact Dr. Boudell with the details.

• Off-Campus Internship Agreement Form
• BIOL 3210/11 can count in the General Biology Track for the B.S. in Biology
• BIOL 3210/11 can count as an Upper Division Biology Elective or a Directed Elective for the B.S. in Biology
• BIOL 3210/11 cannot be used for the Minor in Biology

BIOL 3220 (ON-CAMPUS INTERNSHIP I) AND BIOL 3221 (ON-CAMPUS INTERNSHIP II)

With an On-Campus Internship, you will work closely with a faculty member to help them with some type of semester-long project. It could be a research-related project or an education-based project (like working as a teacher's assistant for a particular class). Interested students should contact a faculty member and arrange the details of the project with them as well as the learning objectives before enrolling in this course. (Enrollment is by permission only.)
