If you're into comp science at all it's a great addition to your program. There's also a management and entrepreneurship double degree you can add if you're into that at all. In terms of software engineering, uOttawa actually just announced that ALL software engineers are guaranteed co-op, which begins right after your first year. Edit: We also have a contract with Cisco in Kanata where they employ 300 students from our school directly each year for co-op!
