The Faculty of Engineering offers an Internship Program for those students interested in gaining practical engineering experience in industry. In this program, students spend 12 to 16 months working in industry between their third and fourth years of the Bachelor of Engineering Science (B.E.Sc.) program. Time spent in an internship may count as one-year of pre-graduation experience toward the four years experience required for licensing as a Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario.
