Objectives

Provide a one page typed statement of your goals and objectives for this internship. Be specific about the skills and experience that you hope to gain. This will serve as a reference point for you as you go through your internship to make sure that the internship is what you want.

Student Learning Outcomes

The purpose of the internship in the department of Crop and Soil Science is to provide the student with a learning experience that has immediate real world application. Ideally, it would provide the opportunity for students to put into practice some of the concepts they have learned in the classroom and at the same time provide an opportunity to learn new skills and applications. It should not just be a ‘summer job’ where the student is providing only routine manual labor, but rather an environment that allows for increasing responsibility.
