Excerpt
While working at General Motors, in the fall of his junior year at Boston University, computer science major Alan Samuels designed a program that enabled GM researchers to easily analyze test data taken from experimental automobile parts. In a similar manner, Kim Anderson, although only a sophomore sociology major at Syracuse University, was placed in charge of developing and managing a child care program for illegal aliens while working for New York's Health and Human Services Department. Jeff Brinkley, a senior geology major at Bradley University, completed his fourth semester working for Texaco Oil Company by coauthoring a research book on the earth's alternative energy resources. These three bright students are fictitious, but nonetheless they are representative of more than 190,000 college students throughout the United States who are involved in cooperative education programs today.
