Congratulations on choosing CompEng at Waterloo!
With students coming from different educational backgrounds, first year works on getting everyone on the same page and used to university life. In first year you will have courses on software engineering, linear circuits, digital circuits, physics and lots of math. Keep an eye on the math, calculus has an annoying habit of appearing in courses you wouldn’t necessarily expect in upper years.
Spend time learning how you learn best. This will save you lots of wasted painful hours and understand better.
This program can set the foundation for excellent co-op and full-time jobs in some really cool places like Silicon Valley, New York, Seattle and overseas. Make sure you get your resume reviewed by as many people you can. This document is key to getting that interview at that cool company.
Enjoy your frosh week and embrace the opportunities available!
