Internships and Co-ops

Each year, most students undertake internships in the industry during the summer break or programs of Co-operative Engineering in various months to gain a first hand experience of engineering practice in use. The Engineering Co-operative Education and Internship Programs office organizes these each year using PlacePro, a web-based utility that enables students and employers to search for and interact with each other.
