Introduce yourself briefly:
Hi there, my name is Tanish and I’m a mechatronics engineering student in the class of 2024.
Waterloo Engineering in one word:
challenging
I choose Waterloo Engineering because:
The ability to gain practical experience through our co-op program was invaluable to me.
The best thing about my program is:
The interdisciplinary concepts
About my Co-op experience:
My most recent co-op experience was as a software developer at Nvidia where I worked on their graphics drivers for Linux. It has been an extremely challenging task but also very satisfying.
I wish I had known before I came:
It’s never to late to join a club/team.
Outside the classroom, I’m involved with:
The Midnight sun solar car team, where I’m a hardware developer. Additionally, I’ve volunteered in some of the research labs like the social and intelligent robotics lab.
A fun project I’ve completed:
In my first year, I had the chance to build a braille printing robot with some of my friends, which helped me gain a better understanding of the basics of robotics.
One more thing about me:
I have a passion for reading, so if you have any recommendations feel free to let me know
