I stumbled on it while doing research on postsecondary options. I liked that it was a two-for-one deal.
Then I went on a campus tour and it was cool — I’d been to a lot of other campuses, but this one felt right.
Plus the distance from home, in Vaughan, wasn’t bad and residence was cheap.
I’m from a family of engineers. My dad has a PhD in engineering. My brother is also an engineer. So apparently, I was somehow good at math and science.
My dad also said there were good job opportunities in electrical — especially for people with hard skills.
Smaller classes mean it’s easier to make friends! The social aspect is great. If I have problems, I just ask my friends. We meet up to tackle an assignment. It’s been a fun time.
Profs are also really kind. They know us and want us to succeed.
It’s hard as any other engineering course. Get ready to work!
But it’s relevant to the industry. My interest is in renewable energy and I hope to work for a Hydro company, someday.
