Institute for Information Systems Engineering Institute for Co-operative Education Industrial Experience Option (INEX) Institute for Information Systems Engineering Information Session Wednesday, September 25, 2019 9:30-11:30 a.m. -My name is Stefanie Corona and I am the Coordinator of Student Learning and Professional Development and Industrial Experience Graduate Programs at the Institute for Co-operative Education. I’m looking forward to sharing information about the Industrial Experience option (INEX) for undergraduate and graduate students. I have been an active member of the Industrial Experience team for several years.

Expectations DO listen actively DO take notes DO write down your questions and be ready to ask them at the end of the session

*Overview* -Will provide an overview of INEX including the benefits, work term criteria, eligibility and policies, application forms, deadline and policies, international student policies, fees and additional resources. -This session is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

INEX To add value to your academic program, the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science (ENCS) in collaboration with Co-op offers you an opportunity to gain practical experience in a field relevant to your program of study -In 2017, we made significant changes to the eligibility requirements, policies and application procedures. If you have visited our website in the past and/or talked to friends about INEX, please make sure you have accurate information by reviewing the updated content on our website.

INEX versus Co-op Functions like regular Co-op programs with several exceptions: It has a different application process Graduate students obtain 9 academic credits once all work term academic requirements are completed satisfactorily

Benefits Enhance your skills through career development webinars and practical in-person sessions Receive assistance and support in finding an internship in your field Gain work experience in your field without making a long-term commitment Apply academic knowledge and theoretical concepts in a practical work environment -Access to a Program Coordinator (Frederick Francis for AERO, INDU and MECH; Gail Knafo for COEN, SOEN and COMP; Nadia Mazzaferro for BLDG, CIVI and ELEC, Nathalie Steverman for graduate programs).

Benefits Take advantage of networking and mentoring opportunities Gain important soft skills and develop independence and maturity Have a competitive edge when you join the workforce full-time

Formal Admission You are formally accepted into INEX and secure a work term through Co-op i.e. you complete the Career Fundamentals webinars, Work Term Prep Seminar and apply to jobs on COMPASS (our internal database). The deadline to apply for formal admission for a work term in Summer 2020, Fall 2020 or Winter 2021 is Monday, September 30, 2019 at 11:45 p.m. via the INEX webpage. -Not all students who apply will be accepted. -You were not formally accepted into INEX but secure a work term through your own job search. The deadline to apply for retroactive admission for a work term in Winter 2020 is Friday, December 6, 2019 at 11:45 p.m. for non-international students.

Please allow a minimum of 10 business days AFTER THE APPLICATION DEADLINE for the Co-op office to process your application. -Application is now completed online. No hard copies will be accepted at the Co-op office or via email. There is no need to send any documentation whatsoever via email ex. transcript or résumé. These emails will be deleted. Focus on answering the questions on the application form carefully. -Make sure to review your responses very carefully prior to hitting the final submit button. You cannot re-apply or ask for your application to be deleted.

Undergraduate Application Form

Undergraduate Application Form -If you are not proficient in French, you must be willing to relocate. This is one of the criteria that the admissions committee will be looking at very carefully. If you indicate that you are willing to relocate, this means that you must accept an offer ex. in Laval, Mirabel, South Shore or out of province. This is where many engineering and computer science industries are located. If you indicate that you are willing to relocate but then are opposed to this later on in the Co-op process, you will meet with the Director.

Your INEX Journey Participate in Career Fundamentals webinars via Adobe Connect and Work Term Prep Seminar Fall 2019 Apply to postings via COMPASS and through your own search, go on interviews and secure work term by deadline Winter 2020 Work full-time, complete Work Term and Reflective Learning or ENCS 6931 course requirements Summer 2020 -If you are accepted into INEX, here is a high level overview of what the next few semesters will look like. After being accepted, you will receive detailed information about all the mandatory requirements. -We anticipate that the majority of students will likely select Summer 2020 for their work term on the application form. If you select Fall 2020 or Winter 2021 for your work term, your journey will be slightly different which we will map out once you have been accepted. -Career Fundamentals is a series of mandatory webinars managed by the Student Learning and Professional Development team (Job Search, Résumé, Cover Letter and Interview Skills). Work Term Prep is managed by the ENCS Program Coordinators. -COMPASS is the internal database that students, staff, faculty members and employers use. The job bank contains postings from all the top employers in Montreal and is exclusive to Co-op and Industrial Experience students. -You must be physically situated in Montreal in the semester prior to your work term in order to attend interviews at the Co-op office and on-site with employers (i.e. cannot be on exchange or travel). -The Work Term and Reflective Learning courses for undergraduate students are Pass/Fail courses that are not for credit and do not count towards your GPA. Work Term course requirements include submitting a work term report which is assessed by your respective program Academic Director (an ENCS faculty member) as well as an employer evaluation form. Reflective Learning course requirements include contributing to discussion forums on Moodle about workplace topics. The requirements will be explained in detail once you have been accepted into the option. -ENCS 6931 is a Pass/Fail course for graduate students administered by ENCS and managed by Co-op. It is worth 9 academic credits and does not count towards your GPA. There are several assignments throughout the work term including an objectives proposal, monthly progress reports, a final paper (approximately 50 pages) and presentation. The requirements will be explained in detail once you have been accepted into the option. Fall 2018

Work Term Criteria Paid Minimum 35 hours a week 12 to 17 weeks If you are currently working at the company, the internship must be with a different department and supervisor You cannot be supervised by a family member. A graduate student must be supervised by an experienced engineer or computer scientist during the work term. The internship must be in an office setting with a physical address (remote/virtual/home-based company opportunities are not approved) -A job is not guaranteed.

International Student Policies You must obtain a valid Co-op work permit through Citizenship & Immigration Canada. For more information, visit the Government of Canada website.
