Objectives: The senior internship in computing allows students to apply the principles and techniques they have learned in the classroom in more realistic settings. Interns work from 10-15 hours per week in a business or non-profit organization under the supervision of a computing professional. They also participate in internship seminars on campus under the supervision of Calvin faculty. These experiences allow them to:

• see firsthand how computing is applied in business and industry
• gain a broader view of the computing industry
• enhance skills in team work, time management, and system development
• make and develop personal contacts
• add practical experience to their resumés

Interns are expected to develop job-hunting skills, complete a project on site, maintain a personal journal, participate in on-campus seminars, give presentations, and write a summary paper. Particular emphasis will be placed on the nature of current business practice and on the implications of a reformed Christian world view on that practice.

This internship is offered in the fall, spring and summer sessions to seniors in Computer Science or Information Systems.
