Students entering the BASc or BSE program prior to Fall 2004 are required to take one of the COOP courses (COOP 1 - COOP 6) during each of their work terms. The academic content and evaluation described below applies to those students entering the BASc and BSE degree programs as of September 2004.
In the Faculty of Engineering, the experience gained during the work term is a central component to the Engineering program (BASc and BSE). Associated with each work term there are two components related to the degree. The type and quality of the work performed by the student (captured in courses labeled as COOP 1 to COOP 6) is evaluated and a grade (credit or no credit) is assigned by the Engineering Program Assistant Director in the Co-operative Education and Career Services Department using criteria specified by the Faculty. The sixth work term, although not required as part of the degree requirements, is available to students willing to meet the requirements.
In addition to the work-related course, there is a professional-development course associated with each work term. These courses focus on the development of the professional aspects of engineering. These courses (PDEng 15, PDEng 25, PDEng 35, PDEng 45 and PDEng 55) are associated with the five required co-op work terms. These courses focus on communication and the development of the three themes: responsibility, leadership, and critical analysis. Each course helps the student to develop the skills and perspectives required to be a practicing engineer on graduation. The courses also provide material that is useful in the work-term experiences as well as the academic terms. These courses are intended for on-line delivery and are graded credit/no credit.
