Cooperative Education Program. The capstone cooperative education program combines a career & technical education program with supervised employment, so as to assist students in achieving their career goals. Students are able to enhance their in-school training by participating in experiences outside of the school setting, namely, in a job that is directly related to their field of study. A student who is placed on the cooperative education program is available to work during the time they would normally attend the Tech Center. The student is required to attend their sending high school for the other half-day, for their required academic subjects. To be eligible for the co-op program, seniors must have completed the first month of their senior year with satisfactory achievement and have the recommendation of their instructor. The instructor is the person most knowledgeable about the student’s attitude, career goals and skill competencies. Exceptional junior students will be permitted to participate in the program during the final nine weeks-grading period. Recommended junior Marketing Education students may be eligible during the Christmas season. One of the primary goals of the cooperative education program is to provide graduating students with actual work experiences. This, combined with the necessary skills, work habits, safety procedures and work attitudes learned in the classroom, should adequately prepare a student for the world of work. The cooperative education program is an important and critical component of career & technical education.

Cooperative Education Program. The Faculty of Engineering offers two types of degree programs to which all students can apply: the traditional program and the cooperative education program. Students in the traditional program typically attend classes from September to April over four years (eight academic terms) to obtain their degree. In the cooperative education program, students complement their academic studies with five four-month terms of paid work experience. The academic requirements for both programs are identical. Because of the work experience component, Co-op students complete the last six academic terms over four years, so a degree with the Cooperative Program designation requires five years. The Cooperative Program is offered in all Engineering programs except the Biomedical Options in Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Most programs include one fall work term (September to December), one winter work term (January to April) and three summer work terms (May to August). See Required Courses and Suggested Course Sequence for Co-op Programs for the sequence of academic and work terms. Because of the year-round nature of the Cooperative Program, Co-op students are considered full-time students of the University of Alberta for the full 12 months of any academic year (July 1 to June 30). Students accepted into the Co-op Program must successfully complete the following six courses and the regular requirements for an Engineering degree within their specialization: ENGG 299, WKEXP 901, WKEXP 902, WKEXP 903, WKEXP 904, and WKEXP 905. Because work experience is required, the Engineering Co-op Department in the Faculty helps students find suitable employment. Most jobs are in Alberta, but some jobs are elsewhere in Canada or overseas. The ultimate responsibility for obtaining work-term employment is the student's. Co-op students pay a modest administrative fee for each work term. Spoken English Requirement: Applicants to all Engineering Co-op Specialization programs must meet a Spoken English Requirement (see Spoken English Requirement).
