Work Experience Survey
Work Experience Survey - due at the end of the semester
At the end of each working assignment, a Work Experience Survey should be completed by the student and returned to the Engineering Co-op Program Office. The survey is intended to provide an opportunity for students to rate his or her employer and work experience, thereby providing information that can improve the Co-op Program.
Performance Review
Performance Review
Performance Review - due at the end of the semester
At the end of each industrial assignment, a Performance Review should be completed by the student's supervisor and returned to the Engineering Co-op Program Office. Students are strongly urged to review their rating forms, preferably in person with their supervisor. If that isn't feasible they may set up a time to review it at the Co-op office. These forms are treated confidential and will not be released without written permission from the student.
If the supervisor does not initiate a review it is up to the student to request one. The information is used to screen for potential problems, but its primary function is to maintain good communication between the employer and the Co-op student. If a supervisor submits the form without talking to the student, the student has the option to set up a time with the Co-op office to look over the completed form.
A company-specific performance review form can be submitted in lieu of the Co-op's form.
