Building confidence, connections and knowledge with Co-op
The Co-operative Education and Industrial Internship Program (Co-op/IIP) in the Price Faculty of Engineering offers students hands-on experiences that bring together academic theory and real-world applications in a variety of engineering fields. Students can expect to utilize and learn soft skills such as understanding team dynamics and being able to follow deadlines and tight schedules, along with hard skills such as report writing or mastering the use of certain lab equipment or field technologies. From local companies to multinational corporations, the students have been learning in a variety of areas. Their experiences showcase the breadth of opportunities available through Co-op/IIP and the positive impact these placements have on both students and their host organizations.
