Celebrate Waterloo Engineering

Come show your spirit and get your purple on! 

Because the friends we make here at Waterloo Engineering will last a lifetime.

Chamath Palihapitiya (BASc ’99, Elect) and Brigette Lau (BASc ’99, Comp), founders of Social Capital, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, are returning to campus to talk to Engineering students about two amazing opportunities that could change students' lives. 

Explore the exciting field of engineering! Go ENG Girl is an exciting opportunity for Grade 7 - 10 girls to visit the University of Waterloo and learn about the wonderful world of engineering. Meet women currently studying engineering, learn about some of the amazing things women engineers are doing, and participate in a cool hands-on activity.

How do we know what our students know? What they don’t know? What and how much they’ve learned? How do we know if our teaching has had an impact on students’ learning?

Thoughtfully designed assessment practices can provide both a window into the diverse ways in which course content is understood (and misunderstood) by our students and a guide for future teaching decisions.

Waterloo Engineering welcomes future students and their families to come discover our undergraduate programs, campus, student life and more at this year's Fall Open House!
