Information for Industry

Welcome to the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering

Our industry-leading programs began in 1986 with a focus on manufacturing systems engineering, and have expanded to the broader areas of engineering leadership, operations and technology strategy. In July 2004 the undergraduate and graduate programs combined to form the current school.

Our students blend technology with leadership and management skills, giving them the experience to advance in their careers. Our strong partnerships within the business community keep us current with industry trends and bring practical applications to the educational experience. Industry-experienced faculty and applied learning practices enhance the value of the learning and the lives of the learners.

Career Intern Process

The School of Engineering was started with a strong connection to industry. The objective is to supply ready engineers to fill industry requirements. If you have questions or needs you want to express about this process, please contact Perry Parendo at pkparendo@stthomas.edu.

A few of the existing St. Thomas offerings for connection with industry include: career development center for on campus interviewing, interview preparation and job search assistance, a job posting and notification system, co-op program, Meet the Engineer of the Future fall event, Senior Design Clinic, Spring Design Show, grants and industrial research, company on-campus presentations and on-site tours. The goal is to make these fit together seamlessly so students and industry can use them in an easy and timely manner.

A co-op program is also available which allows students to have an extended work experience. It is a continuous “semester and a summer” program for credit. The semester can either be spring or fall. For more information, contact John Abraham directly at jpabraham@stthomas.edu.
