Internship & SECOP Policies & Procedures
Undergraduate Students - Interested in a co-op placement?
We recognize the fact every student has a different need so with that in mind we offer a variety of co-op opportunities. Both co-op programs follow the guidelines proposed by the Canadian Association for Cooperative Education (CAFCE), including an introductory co-op workshop, a placement process, a required minimum academic average, employer/student placement evaluations and a work term report.
Internship Program
In the Internship Program, students spend 12 to 16 consecutive months working in a paid engineering position prior to the last year of their Bachelor of Engineering Science (BESc) program. Internship provides a longer work term and more extensive experience than SECOP, which ensures that students are able to work on advanced projects, seeing them through from beginning to end.
Summer Engineering Co-op Program SECOP (SECOP)
SECOP is a four-month (May - August), paid work experience program. It is designed to assist students in finding quality degree-related summer employment, providing them an opportunity to gain valuable engineering experience.

Transportation Career Development Program (TCDP)
A government agency, a consulting company, and a contractor have formed a partnership to hire three first-year students interested in Civil Engineering to rotate between the organizations during each summer of their first, second and third year.
