Work-Integrated Learning
Students acquire the creative, practical and advanced expertise required for overall project success via the combination of in-class and practical learning activities. Hands-on project experience includes a work integrated learning opportunity, which serves as a vehicle for incorporating and applying skills obtained during the academic studies and providing an opportunity to handle real-life situations. Students also have the option to gain real-world experience through a paid co-operative education (co-op) work term (see Additional Information for more details).
