An international student who is authorized to use Curricular Practical Training, CPT, to work as an intern in summer must enroll in the required Graduate Research Internship course, EE ECE x97M, listed on their ECE CPT form in that same summer or in the subsequent fall semester. Most students interning in summer choose to defer taking the EE ECE x97M course until the subsequent fall semester. A student using CPT to work as an intern in fall or spring must take the required EE ECE x97M course in that same fall or spring semester. A student who work works as an intern in summer and fall usually takes two internship courses in fall, one in fulfillment of summer CPT requirements and one in fulfillment of fall CPT requirements.
