<p>I think you are getting two separate things confused. There’s the Technical and Engineering Career Fair held twice a year (in September and February) and run by the Career Center, and the co-op interview process held twice a year (in October and March) and run by the Cooperative Education Program. I believe all companies that are participating in the co-op process attend the career fair, but not all companies at the career fair participate in the co-op program.</p>
<p>It appears the Career Center website has taken down the list of companies that attended the fall career fairs, and it’s too early for them put a list of companies that will attend the spring fairs. But I had an email from the coop program director so I was able to pull this list of companies participating in the coop program.</p>

<p>Most of these companies are in Alabama or nearby states. Co-oping is different from doing an internship in that you commit to full calendar year of work at the company (broken up into three terms: a fall, a spring, and a summer) whereas an internship usually only last one summer. Also, keep in mind some companies are looking for specific majors.</p>
