Engineering Co-Op

All of our undergraduate Engineering programs include co-operative (co-op) education opportunities, providing experiential learning that integrates academic studies with paid work experiences. Co-op opportunities allow students to develop tangible skills and gain valuable work experience while pursuing their undergraduate degree.

Co-op is a degree requirement for students in the Engineering Co-op stream. Students in the co-op stream who successfully complete three work terms will graduate with the co-op designation on their degree parchment, and typically this extends the program of study by one year.  Placements can range anywhere from 4 to 16 months, and most students apply to do a 4-month summer co-op after second year, and a longer 8, 12, or 16-month co-op internship after third year. Students will be recognized as having full-time status while doing their work term.

The Engineering Co-Op Office is committed to supporting all Engineering programs. Our goal is to assist you in all aspects of finding an appropriate Co-Op or Internship placement that will help you get valuable engineering work experience while completing your undergraduate degree program.
