Waterloo Engineering in one word:
Opportunities
I chose Waterloo Engineering because:
The Co-op program gives me an opportunity to experience many different jobs and positions.
The best thing about my program is:
I chose Geological Engineering because I have always loved the outdoors, and find the mix of civil, environmental and just geo really cool! Geo is great because there is so many options; from geotechnical to groundwater, to mining, there are so many areas you can focus on.
About Co-op:
My first Co-op was with the City of Brantford as a Design and Construction Assistant. I got to learn many exciting things from the engineers, including lots about microtunnelling, wastewater treatment and how a municipality gets jobs done.
I wish I had known before I came:
How approachable and friendly the profs are. The vast majority are very eager to help whether it be during office hours or during class.
Outside the classroom, I’m involved with:
- Waterloo Nordic ski team
- Waterloo tennis club
