The MECOP/CECOP Placement Event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Attendance is required at the event for all MECOP and CECOP students. May we ask that you consider this schedule as you formulate your class syllabi for winter term? Your flexibility will be appreciated if students' interview times conflict with class time.

We anticipate that as many as 600 company reps from the Pacific Northwest's engineering community will attend the Placement Event at OSU. They will conduct individual interviews to ensure that each of the nearly 400 MECOP/CECOP students is placed in an appropriate internship, matching industry projects with students' skills and career goals. This careful placement of interns, coupled with excellent classroom teaching, can produce the most highly trained and educated engineers in the nation. And since about 90% of MECOP/CECOP graduates find jobs in Oregon after graduation, we are strengthening Oregon's economy along with its professional skill base.

Thank you for continuing to partner with students and industry members to help make MECOP/CECOP the best internship program of its kind. If you have questions about the Placement Event or about the Program in general, please feel free to contact either our Program Director, Gary Petersen, or me.

Many thanks from the MECOP office, and all the best this holiday season.
