- AENG 300+ Co-Op Recommendation: It is recommended that students complete an AENG 300 Co-Op as their directed elective, ideally during the summer after the sophomore or junior year. This approach helps balance the semester course load, and the Co-Op itself is a highly valuable experience that strengthens professional skills and supports job placement after graduation.
