?A student must earn the last 30 credit hours toward the BSET or BSCM degree and the last 12 credit hours in the major at UNC Charlotte to satisfy residence requirements. All students must complete an experiential learning course. Experiential courses are practice-oriented courses such as cooperative education, internships, senior design projects, or undergraduate research. Internships, or 49erships, involve paid or unpaid work in a career-related position for professional experience.? A minimum of 80 work hours and 5 weeks for one semester is required to complete the program.? Fall and Spring 49erships are part-time.? Summer 49erships may be full- or part-time.? Full-time students who are in good University standing, have completed 30 credit hours, and have a 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA are eligible. Internships do not offer academic credit, but are noted on the student?s transcript; students pay a course registration fee. Approval for enrollment must be arranged before the student begins a work experience. Students may begin this program during their Sophomore year; transfer students must complete 12 credit hours at UNC Charlotte before making application for the program. For more information, contact the College of Engineering Office of Student Development and Success or the University Career Center. In addition to University and College of Engineering requirements, an A.A.S. transfer student who is admitted to any BSET or BSCM program without meeting ALL published admission requirements is expected to remove all admission deficiencies within one year. Violators are subject to discontinuance and enrollment in senior-level coursework is prohibited until all deficiencies are removed.
