  • The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) is a planned and progressive educational program that is also known as the Co-operative Education Program (Co-op).
  • The Edwards AFB SCEP/Co-op program is designed to provide work experience for undergraduate and graduate college students who are pursuing degrees in fields related to flight test. The majority of the co-ops are aerospace, electrical/electronic, and mechanical engineering majors, but the program also includes students working with technicians and administrative personnel.
  • The Program incorporates classroom learning with valuable on-the-job experience. Co-ops work under the supervision of engineers on projects such as systems design, flight test experiments, computer studies, and simulation. Projects are structured to apply the basic principles and theories of the student's major field of study.

Candidates must meet all the following requirements:

  •  At least 16 years of age
  • Good standing in an appropriate academic program
  • Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) not less than 2.50
