Engineering 101 Day is free event for all incoming undergraduate Engineering students and their parents or family members. Join us to find the path to success during your first year at Waterloo.
The co-founders of the world-renowned humanitarian organization Engineers Without Borders, George Roter (BASc 1999) and Parker Mitchell (BASc 1999), will deliver a public lecture titled "Global Impact One Engineer at a Time: Why we Founded Engineers Without Borders" about their journey from their time as engineering students at the University of Waterloo, to the founding of Engineers Without Borders and its global impact, and their careers since and beyond.
This full day conference for first and upper year engineer students will showcase a variety of guest speakers and workshops focused on helping participants navigate through both student life and career preparation. From planning out your next four years in undergrad to learning what to expect when you enter the workforce, this conference will help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to achieve your goals with confidence.
Mark your calendars and prepare your questions! Ever wonder what life is like as an engineering student at UWaterloo? Trying to figure out which program is right for you? We're here to help.
Current engineering students will be live on Reddit to answer your questions from 3:00pm to 4:00pm on November 28th (questions will open starting at 2pm!) - this AMA will be hosted on the UWaterloo subreddit: reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/.
