The difference could be explained by the exchange rate between the USD and the CAD, as more respondents started working in the US, and an increase in salaries and stipends to compensate for the difference in living costs between different locations.

Debt After Graduating

The co-op program can help students earn money to pay off debts and expenses as they work towards their degree.

In 2019, the average student debt in Ontario was around $19,000 compared to $20k - $30k average debt among this survey respondents. -

- Engineering at Waterloo is also a more costly program. -

Tech Habits

C++ is one of the first languages that SE students encounter in their courses. It provides a strong programming foundation and is highly portable, making it an ideal choice for multi-platform development. It also has applications in enterprise codebases, so students may encounter it over co-op as well. -

- Many students encounter web development either during co-op or for side projects. - This may explain why many students pick up JavaScript and TypeScript.
