Engineering Work Term 5 (Winter Semester)
is a work term during which students may expect to be involved in design projects to the extent of preparing formal proposals and reports, including specifications and plans. Self confidence and initiative should be sufficiently developed at this stage to enable a student to work at such functions with limited supervision.
The communications component for Work Term 5 is a formal technical report. The subject should be taken from the student's work or work environment and should deal with a project or problem worked on during the term. The report should be documented according to engineering standards. Guidelines for a formal technical report are provided in the Co-op Student Handbook. The report should be submitted or postmarked no later than the last official day of the work term as shown in the University Calendar.
