Our co-op programs give students an advantage by gaining work skills in leading companies located in B.C., Canada, and around the world. Our students find this a rewarding opportunity, and all co-op placements are paid positions. Upon graduation, more than 85 per cent of our co-op students return to work for their co-op employers.
Co-op with the Schools of Engineering Science, Mechatronic Systems Engineering, and Sustainable Energy Engineering
Participating in co-op is mandatory for Engineering Science, Mechatronic Systems Engineering, and Sustainable Energy Engineering students. It provides the chance to work alongside practicing engineers. Often, students design and build real products, gaining an advantage when looking for work after graduation.
Placements are made in B.C., throughout Canada, and even globally. Co-op salaries are competitive and approach those of graduating engineers by the end of the program. Students engage with co-op as early as second semester at SFU.
