    • CO-OP OPTION:

    To be admitted to the CO-OP option, you must:

    • Be enrolled as a full-time student in the Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering program. 
    • Have and maintain a minimum CGPA of 7.0 (B+ or 75%) in courses taken at the University of Ottawa. 
    • Be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident or an international student (authorization or diplomat)
    • Pay the required co-op fees. 

    Notes:

    • The CO-OP option gives selected students the opportunity to acquire practical work experience by completing two one-session, paid work placements. 
    • Each work term is graded P/F (Pass or Fail), based on the employer's report and on a written report completed by the student. The student's report must be 15-20 pages, including appendices. 
    • The units awarded for CO-OP terms may not be used to obtain equivalences for other courses. In other words, the CO-OP units are additional to the minimum requirements of the degree. 

    Note: The passing grade in all courses is B.
