Engineering Shadow Days

A group of Faculty of Engineering students

Discover what it's like to be a Engineering student at Waterloo! We have a whole team of students who'd love to show you around campus and have you "shadow" them for a day.

Shadow Days can include

  • attending a lecture,
  • seeing a lab,
  • touring the Faculty of Engineering, and
  • meeting current students and professors in your program of interest.

We'll try to connect you with a student in your program of interest but it’s not always possible due to the availability of our students. And it may take several days to arrange since our students have classes, assignments, and tests on the go!

Your date of birth is collected to confirm your identity and to match your details with a current or future application to Waterloo, if applicable. This information will be used solely for this purpose.
