I am trying to decide between the Computer Enginreering Co-Op at Waterloo and the Computer Engineering Program (not Co-Op) at McMaster University. I just wanted to ask if anybody can recommend one of these and or tell about experiences.... Thanks Very Much. Joe |

If you are asking about co-op vs. not, then personally I'm in favour of the co-op system. Every 4 months you get to go job hunting in a vaguely relevant field. I enjoy the change of pace and taking a break from school. You get to graduate with experience and industry contacts. Although you typically gets summers off from non co-op programs, so you could work then. The only difference being that there is more competition during summer terms, and your schools helps you less with the job hunt. |

i've been searching on waterloo's site with no prevail, but since we are on the topic, can someone confirm what % you need to stay in co op once you are enrolled into it? sorry for the tangent. |

I believe that Comp Eng is co-op only. CS has a baseline at maybe 70% |
