CRDV 301:
Introduction to Career Development
This 10 week, zero credit hour course is a pre-requisite for students who wish to obtain either an internship or a co-op position through the McCormick Office of Career Development. The grade for this course is administrative and not academic, resulting in an “S” (satisfactory) or a “U” (unsatisfactory) and will NOT impact a student’s GPA. Instructors are working professionals from engineering and technical organizations in many sectors. Classes meet once a week for one hour and participation is a critical factor in the student’s grade.
For more information on these programs, please contact McCormick Office of Career Development at (847) 491-3366, Bradley Baker at b-baker@northwestern.edu, or stop by our offices located in Ford Engineering and Design Center, 2133 N Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL. We are located in room 2.350, it is the first door on your right as you come over the bridge from the Technological building, and we are directly across from the elevator and the stairs on the 2nd floor (please note you enter Ford on the ground floor, not the 1st floor).
