FPE Co-ops and Internships

Many students are interested in obtaining valuable experience working with other fire protection engineers in part-time employment, summer internships or co-op positions. Students participating in these programs earn a salary, gain professional experience, integrate theory into practice, and confirm career choices.

The Department office maintains a set of contacts with prospective employers for each of these types of positions. Contact Dr. James Milke, Associate Chair for more information at 301 405 3995 or milke@umd.edu.
