Earn as you learn: Participate in North America's largest co-op program at the University of Waterloo
As an architectural engineering student at Waterloo you'll automatically be entered into the engineering co-op program. Co-operative (co-op) education combines formal classroom teaching with on-the-job experience. Students are able to try a variety of roles in different industries or can focus their skills on specializations and build expertise over multiple work terms. The jobs completed through co-op will put students on the fast track to a great career after graduation.
Throughout your degree, you'll gain up to two years of real-world experience, build connections in industry and strengthen your professional skills with WatPD-Engineering, an online program that covers résumé writing, networking and more. Co-op at UWaterloo also counts as one year out of the five years of experience needed to get licensed as an engineer in Ontario.
Architectural Engineering students will be in Stream 4S, which means your first work term will begin in January of your first year.
