I attend university in the United States, I have a year of work experience in the same field as my degree from the summer after my 2nd year until the summer of my 3rd year. Does that count as work experience for FSWP?

It looks like an internship or coop program; if that was full time (30 hrs/week) and paid, then you can show that as your work experience!

"" Can I count work experience that was part of my education toward the work requirement?

No. Co-op terms and apprenticeships completed before graduating do not count as skilled work experience. They are considered part of an educational program.

The work experience you can use to apply for the Canadian Experience Class must not have been gained while studying full time on a student permit (for example, experience gained while on a co-op work term).""

True only for CEC, their question was about experience gained in the US. It is valid.
