What is the Waterloo Co-Op Computer Engineering program like?

[x30Jx]

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.

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%

okay, CS is what i was asking about, thanks.
