Hydro One has announced a new partnership with the University of Waterloo, Ryerson University, University of Ontario Institute of Technology and Western University to increase enrolment and career opportunities for female students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
A new Engineering Ambassador Team has been introduced to help future students find what undergraduate program is the best fit for their interests and skills. Recently launched, the team is comprised of current undergraduate students representing all 13 Waterloo Engineering undergraduate programs. Their goal is to share their unique experiences in the Faculty and at the University of Waterloo. Ambassadors will also be the hosts for the Grade 11 and 12 shadow program. A new website has been designed as a starting point for our future students.
WE Innovate is the year's biggest showcase of Waterloo Engineering innovation. Our world class researchers will be displaying emerging research in engineering - cutting edge technology that will shape the world of tomorrow.
