The University of British Columbia

The co-op program is optional and is intended to prepare interested and qualified students in all areas of electrical and computer engineering for their future careers. Once a student has graduated from the program, they will have accumulated up to 20 months of valuable work related experience. Currently, the job market has shifted towards a software-based market and this trend is expected to continue over the next while.

In Electrical and Computer Engineering, co-op is a year-round program entailing one spring and one fall work term as well as three summer work terms, therefore requiring an additional year to complete the B.A.Sc. requirements.

Students who wish to be considered for the program must meet all the requirements of the Faculty of Applied Science (Engineering) and will be selected on the basis of past work/volunteer experience, written and verbal communication skills and academic marks. To graduate with co-op standing, a student must have satisfactorily completed the required five work placements, in addition to the normal academic requirements.
