The best way to succeed in your field is to immerse yourself in it! Co-op is an excellent way to build your professional network, explore career paths and apply in-class teachings to real work situations. Co-op is a model of education that integrates academic learning with workplace learning in fields relevant to our students’ academic and personal goals. Similar to an academic course, work terms are a mandatory component to this form of experiential learning.

Co-op Work Term 1 (MECC 1000)
The co-op work term will provide students with work experience with mechanical engineering projects. The co-op work term expands students’ learning environment to real work settings where they will be challenged to apply their academic knowledge and then return to campus with a deepened understanding of industry demands and required skills.
Co-op Work Term 2 (MECC 2000)
Building on their first work term, this co-op work term will continue to provide students with work experience with mechanical engineering projects. The co-op work term expands students’ learning environment to real work settings where they will be challenged to apply their academic knowledge and then return to campus with a deepened understanding of industry demands and required skills.
Courses and course descriptions are subject to change.
Once transferred to the co-op option of a program, students will have a co-op administrative fee of $475 per work term assessed to their accounts.
