Announcing the

Engineering Career Services is excited to introduce SECOP. This new initiative will assist engineering students in gaining work experience before graduation. The program will help students find co-op placements from the May to August summer term.

Engineering Career Services offers SECOP on a voluntary basis to qualified undergraduate students in all Engineering programs.  The intent of SECOP is to allow students to experience career-related work terms that enhance and build on their university learning experience.  This combination increases the motivation of students for learning and generates a greater interest in academic work. Co-op helps students to develop skills in getting along with people in a work environment and enhances opportunities for future permanent employment.  In addition to the significant value gained through the experience, students will also earn a salary.

Considerable effort is devoted to developing, promoting, and monitoring close relationships between student work experiences and academic studies. Employer and student evaluations are made at the completion of the work term. Recognition of work experience is indicated by a transcript notation on the students' academic record.

The Summer Engineering Co-op Program follows the guidelines proposed by the Canadian Association for Cooperative Education (CAFCE), including preparatory classes for all participating students, a placement process, employer/student evaluations and work term reports.
