Industrial Undergraduate Professional Experience

A group of industrial engineers work on an assembly line

Why do co-op?

The industrial engineering program offers paid, full-time co-operative internship opportunities. Our students and alumni can’t say enough about how taking part in co-op transformed their education, their careers and their lives. It’s no surprise. Studies have shown that the benefits of co-op are vast, including opportunities to:

  • Develop crucial skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership.
  • Experience first-hand exactly what engineering employers expect.
  • Broaden your professional network and make lasting industry connections.
  • Gain an edge in today’s competitive job market.

As part of your studies, you’ll have the opportunity to work for leading companies in Canada, such as Loblaw Companies Ltd., Scotiabank and Walmart Canada – building your resumé, your network and your confidence along the way.

“Beyond improving my time management and teamwork skills, participating in co-op has opened my eyes to all of the options a career in industrial engineering has to offer. Using my expertise in the Ontario Ministry of Indigenous Affairs has been extremely rewarding and has made me excited to pursue a career that will allow me to contribute to society in a meaningful way.”
