  2. INEX • Opportunity to add value to your academic program by gaining practical experience in a field relevant to your program of study • Registered in MEng or MApCompSccourse-based in Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science (Building, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Information Systems, Mechanical, Quality Systems, Software Engineering or Computer Science)  • MEng Aerospace or Environmental Engineering students are not eligible • Thesis-based students are not eligible  • Securing a work term is not guaranteed

  3. INEX versus Co-op Functions like regular Co-op programs with several exceptions: • It has a different application process • Graduate students obtain 9 academic credits once all work term academic requirements are completed satisfactorily • May complete 1 work term only

  4. Benefits • Enhance your skills through career development webinars and practical in-person sessions  • Receive assistance and support in finding an internship in your field  • Gain work experience in your field without making a long-term commitment  • Apply academic knowledge and theoretical concepts in a practical work environment • Take advantage of networking and mentoring opportunities • Gain important soft skills and develop independence and maturity • Have a competitive edge when you join the workforce full-time 

  5. Eligibility and Policies • Have completed a minimum of 8 credits before the work term begins • Must be classified as having full-time status • Have and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4 throughout your time enrolled in the Industrial Experience option • Cannot take a leave of absence prior to the work term • Proficient in either English or French.
