  2. Data Gathered • 48 CIS majors/minors who have not completed an internship. • 17 CIS majors/minors who have completed an internship. • Conclusions • Students have a very positive attitude toward internships and believe that people who are important to them would support them pursuing an internship, but are not as sure that they have control over whether they will be successful in completing an internship. • Those who have not had an internship show a very strong intent to do so.

  3. Data Gathered • Those who have completed internships report that the skills they learned were (in rank order): • technical/programming skills (82%), • ability to work in a team (73%), • professionalism (64%), • oral communication skills (55%), • written communication skills (45%), • problem solving skills (45%), • and initiative (45%).

  4. Data Gathered • Open-ended questions yielded interesting responses. • A common theme was that we should make students more aware of internships and where to find information on them. • On outcomes, students reported many varied positive experiences, negatives tended to focus on scheduling issues, unpleasant tasks, and lack of direction.
