Welcome to Tron – the smorgasbord of engineering programs! There is something here for everyone… Don’t be surprised if you suddenly realize that your interest in one aspect of the program suddenly shifts to something completely different. After all, university is all about discovering what you want to do with your life.

Concepts will be pulled from the darkest corners of ME (material properties, heat transfer), ECE (circuit analysis, microprocessor interfacing) and SYDE (no one is really sure…). Never programmed before? Better get help and learn quick, there is going to be a lot. Don’t run in fear just yet… learning to code will land you jobs and make you a better engineer!

The best advice you will receive:
1) Get through the first two years. It gets better… it gets real!
2) 2B and 4A Tron students will also be on campus in the fall so come out to events and introduce yourself. You’ll thank yourself later.
