Mechanical Engineering

George Davidson has brought a passion for engineering and fluid mechanics to Waterloo engineering students for over thirty years. Who is he? Imagine a professor always current. One who continuously revises his lecture materials to reflect modern findings. Imagine a professor always giving one hundred percent. One who tries to make every lecture the best ever. Imagine a professor always available. One who routinely meets his students outside of lecture hours. Imagine a professor always caring. One who helps students make career and study choices and then follows their subsequent progress. Imagine a professor always smiling. One who provides willing and friendly help and guidance. George Davidson is such a professor.
