ENG 689

What is ENG 689?

• A zero-credit course with no meeting times
• Graded S - Satisfactory or U - Unsatisfactory, based on ECIP's receipt of both the experience evaluation (from you) and performance evaluation (from your employer) at the end of the quarter
• Appears on your transcript as "Professional Experience" for each quarter enrolled
• The fee is half of one credit hour, approximately $240 for Ohio residents

How do I enroll in ENG 689?

Unlike your other classes, ECIP will enroll you in ENG 689 at your request (you can't schedule it yourself).
Make your request for ENG 689 enrollment when you report your intern/co-op job:

• Login to ECIP manage work records [new window]
• Click on Report a co-op, internship or part-time position
• Select yes for question 1. Do you want to be enrolled in Engineering 689? in Additional Job Details

We'll send you an e-mail notification to confirm you are enrolled in ENG 689. NOTE: ENG 689 is optional for summer quarter.

Why enroll in ENG 689?

• ENG 689 maintains your full-time student enrollment status while you're working. It will not maintain student athletes' full-time status at this time. Being a full-time student while on your co-op or intern work assignment ensures you'll be able to...
  • Pick up or purchase athletic tickets
  • Get an RPAC pass at the student rate
  • Get an OSU golf course pass at the student rate
  • Obtain enrollment verification for insurance, if covered under your parents' car and/or health policies
• ENG 689 also verifies you are a continuing full-time student for financial aid purposes. If you typically receive *financial aid and do not enroll in ENG 689, you might be required to start re-paying your student loans before you graduate. Contact the Office of Student Financial Aid [new window] when enrolling in ENG 689 so that eligibility for financial aid can be reviewed. *You cannot receive financial aid while you are co-oping or interning.
• ENG 689 is a prerequisite to employment for some employers, since enrollment in such a course fits the legal requirements outlined in Ohio Revised Code Section 4141.01(B)(3)(e)(ii) [new window]. These employers will contact ECIP to verify enrollment.
• ENG 689 on your transcript formally documents your co-op or internship experience. In Ohio, as in many states, co-op and internship experience counts toward the 4-year field work requirement to obtain the Professional Engineer (PE) license [new window]. Note: only experience from sophomore year onward applies.
• ENG 689 enables you to waive your residence hall contract if you are working outside of Columbus.
• ENG 689 ensures you will be eligible for student health insurance for the quarter you're working -- health insurance is required to participate as a co-op or intern.
