Choosing your engineering program

This is an excerpt from Prof. Bill Anderson's blog, published Dec. 30, 2013. 

With application deadlines approaching, some people will be struggling with the decision of which engineering program to apply to.  I had a post on this topic last year, and here are some additional thoughts.  As a reminder, Waterloo engineering has direct entry to a specific engineering discipline, so you have to pick one of our 13 programs for your application choice.  

Margaret Dalziel, a professor with the Conrad Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology Centre, has been appointed by the Ministry of Finance to chair a prestigious expert panel examining business support programs in Ontario. The panel will review and evaluate the initiatives and provide recommendations that the province will use to ensure the growth of Ontario companies is supported effectively to better attract strategic new investments.

The first class of an innovative biomedical engineering program that connects students to the medical community will start at the University of Waterloo next fall.

The new program in Canada's largest engineering school will give students the unique opportunity to blend hands-on design expertise with workplace experiences and academic studies.

It’s obviously something about your great engineering school, combined with the resources and encouragement to start building and creating stuff while you’re still in school, that positions Waterloo founders so well to be starting companies," says Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of reddit, author and startup investor.
