“The University of Waterloo’s co-op program is unique in the world. While studying at one of the most prestigious schools of engineering, the co-op program enables me to implement theoretical aspects in the industrial environment. With this program, I see myself as a successful engineer with vast industrial experience and impressive interpersonal skills when I eventually step into the professional world.”
Naveed Ur-Rehman Ali, Engineering class of 2012
