Grad speaks about the power of co-op in the Globe

Tuesday, June 18, 2013


Andrew D’Souza, a systems design engineering graduate, promotes Waterloo Engineering's co-op program in a Globe and Mail education opinion piece. Now the chief operating officer of Top Hat, an active learning program that aims to improve student engagement using mobile technology and interactive simulations, D'Souza says he entered the University of Waterloo 10 years ago with the dream of designing and building cars. "Within weeks of starting school, I was submitting résumés and interviewing for my first co-op placement and was lucky enough to land one at General Motors," he says.
