Can the experience I gained during my co-op or internship work placement be applied against the engineering work experience requirement to be licensed as a P.Eng.?
In most cases, yes. How much of your co-op or internship work placement experience can be applied depends on where you want to register as an engineer-in-training, as well as on the type of experience that you gained. Most provincial/territorial licensing bodies will count up to one year of co-op or internship work against the engineering work experience requirement to be licensed as a P.Eng. The work must fit the description of engineering experience found in the interpretive guide published by the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers on behalf of the licensing bodies. For more information, check with your licensing body.
