You'll also have access to high-tech simulation labs where you can learn how engineers test risks before physically starting a project. Your education and experience will be among the broadest of the engineering disciplines. You'll have the opportunity to work with students in other Engineering programs to enhance your knowledge and to give you an edge upon graduation. As a student in the world's largest co-op program, you'll alternate 4-month school terms with paid co-op work terms.
