The Schulich School of Engineering Internship Program
The engineering internship program is designed to develop superior graduates by giving students hands-on work experience in an area related to their program of study.

They gain practical experience, develop industry contacts and networks, as well as a broad range of skills and knowledge that can only be learned outside of the classroom. Interns graduate with up to one year of engineer-in-training experience recognized as part of the work experience required to obtain the professional engineer designation (PEng). Employers benefit from highly motivated employees for a select term with the possibility of immediate permanent employment upon graduation. As a voluntary program, the engineering internship program boasts an extraordinarily high student participation rate of more than 70 percent as a direct result of its success in meeting both student and employer needs.
