One of the first things you’ll memorize is the definition of Systems Design Engineering (SYDE), although in reality you’ll spend the next five years defining what it means to you through electives and extracurricular activities. As the most interdisciplinary engineering program, you’ll take courses from other engineering disciplines and unique design courses, culminating in unprecedented elective-flexibility in your upper years that will allow you to shape your degree.
Your home for the next five years will be the sixth floor of E5, where you’ll have all of your core classes with your classmates, who will be some of the most well-rounded students from across Canada and beyond.
When it comes to co-op, the job opportunities available to us reflect the flexibility of our program. SYDE students have been hired for everything from software development to project management to working at hedge funds or oil refineries, in countries all over the world. Take advantage of your co-op terms to explore your interests.
Don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions and actively seek answers. Always strive to make the most of your time here. SYDE will be challenging, but take some time to enjoy the journey. You’re in for an awesome ride!
Welcome to the Family!
