Programs: Electrical Engineering

Welcome to the University of Waterloo, and congratulations on choosing Electrical Engineering! You have an exciting path ahead of you. This year will be full of new experiences. You will need to enforce good study habits, and put the effort in to succeed. You will be taking a wide variety of courses ranging from circuits, programming, math, physics and more. Do your best to study them well, as what you learn will be needed in courses and the workplace later on. First year will be full of exciting firsts for most of you, such as interviews, internships and independent life. Make sure you put a lot of effort into your resume, and make sure to take advantage of the resume critiques run by our lovely Engineering Society. You are sure to encounter some tough times as you adjust to the new world that is university.  Everyone will, so don’t be afraid to reach out for help when you need it. Take advantage of your TAs, professors, advisors and classmates – you’re all in this together. But while this is all very important, don’t forget that university is a social place as well. Make time to go the various events on campus, meet people and check out the various student teams that would love to have you join and help out.
