Due date: Monday, September 9th 2019
The test itself will become available later in August 2019.
The SYDE/BME Readiness Assessment is a diagnostic test. The questions on the assessment cover fundamental background for the courses that students will take in their first term. It is not for credit – rather, a tool to help identify areas where students need support. The assessment can be done from a personal computer with an internet connection.
Students can access the assessment via UWaterloo's LEARN system. To login into LEARN, students should use their email address and password (e.g., for email address jsmith@uwaterloo.ca, username is jsmith). Once logged in, the course name is "2019 Incoming SYDE and BME Engineering Students Community".
Students are advised to first complete a number of included practice quizzes before completing the test.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
