    So, at the University of Toledo, all of our engineering students have the opportunity to complete three paid co ops. For engineering science students, it's mandatory. For engineering technology students, it is optional. However, students get paid around $10,000 per co op, $30,000 total to gain that industry experience. That is going to be a wonderful opportunity for you to gain experience alongside of that financial support.
