Typical interview questions.

How do you react when something doesn't go as planned? etc.

Also I got asked what my favourite book was.

They're the same types of questions though, so that thread is sort of applicable.

I would say the same general gist of questions would be asked in a job or a coop. Job may be more intensive process I would guess.

Most common ones I came across over 10+ co-op interviews:

What projects have you worked on?
Have you worked in a team? If so, what was your role in it?
Have you ever had to deal with problems caused by a team member? How did you handle it?
Why do you want to work for us?
What do you know about our firm?
Tell us/me about yourself?

For a more comprehensive list of questions, visit the following link by ECCS McMaster:

The OP is referring to the co-op program at Mac, not co-op jobs...I doubt you've interviewed for over ten co-op programs

The general questions are applicable, but it's not company-specific and not really testing your knowledge (which I have come across in some job interviews).

Oh, my bad. I didn't know there was an interview to get in to the co-op program as well. Sorry about that.
