Engineering

Co-op work terms allow students to complete a four-year Honours Degree while gaining the equivalent of one year of career-related work experience. By combining semesters of classroom study with semesters of full-time, paid employment in career-related positions, you will have the best of both worlds as you apply your formal learning to the workplace, and vice versa.
