Established in 1981, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Engineering Co-op Program is one of Canada's largest Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) programs.

This program integrates paid, supervised work experience into the undergraduate engineering degree, providing students with valuable, real-world industry exposure. The Co-op degree spans five years, incorporating five mandatory four-month work terms alongside academic studies.

Accredited by , the program adheres to national standards for post-secondary co-operative education.

Our program consists of alternating academic terms and paid work terms. Work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study. ().

1. Each work term is developed in partnership with the employer and approved by the co-operative education program as a suitable learning environment;
2. The student is engaged in productive work for which the student receives remuneration;
3. The co-op curriculum supports student learning goals, personal evaluation, and reflection;
4. The student's performance in the workplace is supervised and evaluated by the student's employer;
5. The student's progress during their work term is monitored by the co-operative education program;
6. Both work and academic terms are full-time and follow a formalized sequence. The total amount of co-op work experience is normally at least 30% of the time spent in academic study (one work term is the equivalent of a four month semester).;
7. Co-op programs begin and end on an academic term;
8. The student completing multiple work terms is normally exposed to the work environment during more than one season of the year (e.g. Summer, Fall, and Winter terms).
