About international exchange
Engineering expertise is no longer confined by national boundaries as it was in the past. Through modern communication, our technology, ideas, intellectual property, designs and processes move easily all over the world. Trading natural resources and heavy manufactured goods has given way to engineering products and services with sophisticated technical and intellectual content.
Canadian engineering graduates who understand and appreciate cultures, languages and methods of other countries have an advantage in the global trading economy.
The expanded academic and workplace opportunities available to Waterloo Engineering students are made possible through our exchange agreements with institutions around the world, and provide an enriched educational experience that cannot be achieved by on-campus study alone. They are a vital component in your career preparation, allowing you to face the realities of trade and engineering in the twenty-first century.
