Engineering Science Undergraduates
Co-operative Work Experience & Education
Your mandatory -- and paid – co-op placement gives you invaluable real-world experience and shows future employers that you have the right hands-on skills.
You’ll be part of one of the best and most diverse co-op programs in Canada. With at least 2000 job postings every year and more than 350 active employers, it’s a proven route to career success. In fact, over 85% of our co-op students find employment within three months of graduation through the network they built via their co-op placements.

HOW IT WORKS
Every student completes a co-op education program of three work terms. After the completion of the co-op preparatory curriculum, students typically alternate between academic and co-op work terms.
Students have an opportunity to participate in industry and/or research co-op work terms where they gain experience in a company or research lab setting. Ideally, two of the three mandatory work terms are completed in industry unless a student plans to pursue post-graduate studies. Co-op may include but is not restricted to self-directed, entrepreneurial, industry, service, or research work terms.
An optional non-technical work term (ENSC 194) is also available through the engineering science co-op and is often completed after the first two study terms. ENSC 194 does not count toward the mandatory three course requirement.
