Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Engineering Physics

All students, who enter into the Schulich School of Engineering in the Fall of 2025 and onwards, must complete a minimum of 500 hours of practical work experience before graduation. The work experience should normally be a paid opportunity in an engineering or engineering adjacent capacity and may be research focused. The work should contain an appropriate level of responsibility with commensurate pay. Prior to entering into a job placement, every student must complete career readiness modules. Subsequent to a placement, students must complete a Record of Practical Experience form (signed by their supervisor) and complete a placement reflection activity.

Full-time positions may be located anywhere and are normally undertaken during the summer break. Local (located in Calgary and surrounding area) part-time opportunities may be pursued while students are enrolled in courses. The work may be completed at any time during a student’s program, and it should be completed before a student enters their final semester of studies. Work done before entering the faculty may count towards the requirement.

Completion of the Internship Program satisfies the practical experience requirement.

In extenuating circumstances, the Dean (or delegate) may reduce the number of required hours of practical experience. Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

For more information regarding extenuating circumstances, see: G.3.3 Deferral Final Examinations.
