Creating well-rounded engineers
Outstanding academic performance is not always first on an employer's must-have list; first and foremost, many employers want graduates who are highly skilled, well-rounded individuals. Many employers place interpersonal and communication skills, critical reasoning and problem-solving skills, as well as passion, at the top of their list.

Students have the opportunity to apply for the Co-op program and gain valuable real work experience throughout their degree. Co-op is a paid 3, 6 or 12 month term with Industry employers, in summer or to coincide with a semester.
