Summer Internship Course (CS298P)

CS298P Summer Course

MCS CS298P is designed as a companion learning course for students engaged in a summer internship or employment experience. The goal of the course is to help students enrich their career learning through facilitated planning, analysis, and reflection on their work experience and to apply what they are learning in the classroom in a real-world business setting.

Throughout the summer experience, students are expected to complete the following assignments, forms, and evaluations in order to receive “Satisfactory” marks in their CS298P Summer Session I and II courses. Employers are encouraged to complete the following form and evaluations to support the student’s professional growth and career development as they will soon be tech professionals entering the industry.
