Co-Op Advantage

IMSE and the Co-op Advantage

IMSE Co-operative education offers students the opportunity to combine their classroom experiences with career-related work experiences. The Co-operative Education Program is based upon the principle that the preparation of undergraduate Engineering students can be enhanced by blending career related work experience with a quality curriculum.

Admission to the Co-operative Education Program is competitive. Students who apply and are accepted into the Program must successfully complete three or four paid work experiences (85-198, 85-298, 85-398, or 85-498), normally interspersed throughout the four-year honours program, in addition to specified program requirements. The experience gained while participating in these structured and supervised work placements is viewed as an integral component of the student's education program.
