Students perform research under the supervision of a faculty member.
It is a great opportunity to get involved in cutting edge research and get started early onto a research career. It is fair to say that a research assignment is among the most interesting and challenging coop experiences possible for an undergraduate student. A successful research assignment is a valuable asset in a student's background, and, together with a strong academic record, maximizes the probability of acceptance into graduate school with full scholarship funding. Students can take up to one course during the term of the award, if approved by their supervisor. Completion of the first year is a requirement.
