Inside Purdue Engineering: Co-op program

Inside Purdue Engineering is a series that features traditions of schools, programs and organizations within the College of Engineering.
Purdue University's Co-op program, run by the Office of Professional Practice (OPP) housed in the College of Engineering, started in 1954 with the first formal Co-op in mechanical engineering. Other engineering disciplines joined the Co-op program in the following years, and by 1974, non-engineering disciplines were added.
Now, the Co-op program serves eight colleges on campus, though about 90 percent of participation is from engineering students. In 2022, as many as 1,800 students participated with a projected growth to be over 2,000 by next year.

The largest engineering college in the top 5, Purdue Engineering anchors Purdue University as the “Cradle of Astronauts,” from College alumni Neil Armstrong to the first female commercial astronaut. Other trailblazers include Amelia Earhart, seven National Medal of Technology and Innovation recipients, and nine National Academy of Inventors Fellows. Our agricultural and biological engineering programs ranked No. 1 for more than a decade, and the College houses the world’s largest academic propulsion lab and the nation’s first all-digital nuclear reactor.
