COOPERATIVE WORK
EXPERIENCE EDUCATION
Cooperative Work Experience Education (CWEE) combines on-the-job experience with regular classroom instruction. It is designed to expand skills and knowledge and to improve self-understanding by integrating classroom study with planned supervised work experience.
CWEE is based on the principle that well educated individuals develop most effectively by incorporating related education and work experience. These structured experiences in business, industry, government and human services provide an enrichment to
college studies which enhance the student's total development.
The program is called CWEE because the educational objectives are carefully planned and coordinated with the student's employer to provide realistic employment experience.
Benefits of Cooperative
Work Experience Education (CWEE)
The student:
1. Has the opportunity to learn or improve employment skills under actual working conditions.
2. Gains perspective on career goals through application of classroom theory to "real life experience."
3. Builds self-identity and confidence as a worker through individual attention given by instructor/coordinators and employers.
4. Has opportunities to test personal abilities in work environments.
5. Develops realistic approach to the job market.
6. Learns to apply objectives that will enhance employment skills.
7. May refer to work experience education future job applications.
8. Benefits financially while learning.
9. Begins a career earlier.
Student Qualifications
Occupational Work Experience
Hours by Arrangement, 3-4 units
A program of on-the-job learning experience for students employed in a paid job related to an occupationally oriented major. May be repeated for a maximum of 16 units. To receive credit, a student must complete a minimum of seven units during the semester, including work experience, and have a declared major in an approved Cooperative Education subject area.

Students may transfer to CSULA, Cal Poly Pomona or CSULB to complete their BS degree in Production Technology or Engineering Technology. See the advisor in G8-127 for additional information about "Engineering Technology, Production Technology, CAD & CADD Programs" and university transfer.
The Engineering Department of East Los Angeles College offers a 42 unit program in Engineering Technology. Successful completion of this program with a grade point average of 2.5 or better entitles the student to apply for and, upon approval by the Department, be awarded a Certificate of Achievement in his or her field of concentration. Engineering Technology students may also obtain a certificate in "Computer Aided Drafting (CAD)"
or a certificate in "Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CADD)". (See "Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CADD)" majors.) The program may also lead
to an Associate of Science degree upon completion of additional courses in general education graduation requirements to total 60 units.
These programs of study are intended to provide the student with the general background and specialized skills essential for success in Engineering Technology. Employment opportunities are found in both government and private enterprise wherever engineering and technology are used.
In addition to a "General Engineering Technology" Certificate, fields of specialization and Certificates within the Engineering Technology degree are found in Civil Engineering Technology, including options in Surveying, Structural, and Civil Engineering Technician.
