Student Funding and Opportunities
Co-Op Opportunities
NCE Co-Op Program
NCE’s Cooperative Education Program, or co-op, is a five-year educational program, which provides engineering students with the opportunity to alternate between semesters of full-time work and full-time study in areas related to the student's academic major and career interests. The co-op program is designed to provide experiences that prepare students to connect their academic studies with the professional engineering environment while exploring career interests and their future aspirations.
Internship Opportunities
NASA MSFC Pathways Intern
"NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, AL will be imminently hiring multiple ‘Pathways Interns’, which is our equivalent of a typical co-op program. Selected students would alternate several times between work and school until they graduate, and then would likely be hired into NASA for full-time employment.... Here are some of the things that we do at MSFC on a daily basis:
- Support various large and broad engineering disciplines including Testing, Materials, Launch Vehicles, Space Systems, and Propulsion Systems
- Design, build, test, and certify the largest launch vehicle ever created, the Space Launch System. This will be used to launch humans beyond low earth orbit, to the moon, and with the inevitable goal of getting to Mars.
- Work with SpaceX and Boeing on Commercial Crew Program to support the engineering, design, and certification of two American launch vehicles. These will support the continued sustainment of research and active Crew aboard the International Space Station.
- Design and develop the Human Landing System, which will put the first woman and next man on the surface of the Moon for 2024.
- Help better understand our Solar System via engineering support for various Science missions including Lunar Flashlight, Mars Ascent Vehicle, Europa Clipper, etc."
