Today, Canada provides one of the most widely developed co-op models inthe world, with over 80,000 co-op students enrolled in 83 Canadian institutions in 2009[1]. A co-operative education program is defined here to include one or more paid work terms that post-secondary students fulfill as part of their studies. Participating in

Results showed that a large proportion of both incoming and senior students havehad international experiences. While seniors perceived themselves to be more globally ready, first-year students rated themselves more highly on items relating to the professional importance ofglobal readiness. Senior students felt that interacting with international students in their coursesmost strongly impacted their global readiness. Students who studied or worked abroad hadstronger perceptions of their global readiness and more positive cultural dispositions. Implicationsof the results for engineering education are discussed.IntroductionIn the

While theprograms were not engineering related or product development related, the results of the surveyvalidate the anecdotal results we have observed in this program. The survey found that greaterthan 95% of participating students experienced increased self-confidence and maturity. Morethan 80% of respondents indicated positive effects resulted from their exposure to the diversityassociated with another culture. At least 63% indicated that the international study abroadprogram influenced their career interests and path.Academic commitment can increase as a result of the international experience. As students
