The York College Engineering Program is one of few engineering programs nationwide that requires all of its students to participate in one year of engineering cooperative work experience (co-op).

Through this program, students have the opportunity to gain practical hands-on experience in industry and other engineering-related enterprises prior to graduation. After their first two years of study, students alternate academic semesters with semester-long periods of paid, professional engineering work experience in industry.

A total of three semesters of co-op are required for graduation. This requirement may be waived for students with a history of qualified engineering work.
