I am studying mechanical engineering at this school and the applications through the use of technological software are fantastic! However this school has a very high dropout rate and is one of the most expensive institutions in the country. Great co-op and internship opportunities, while the school takes pride in employing incredibly intelligent professors. You are given chances to perform your own projects and collaborate with other students. Many people are not satisfied on the subject of the mandatory laptops. Personally, I find it very convenient to have all of my simulation, MATLAB and NX CAD software, Microsoft office etc. always with me. The course load is very challenging, they want you to excel and absorb the most amount of knowledge by the time you graduate so you are ready for the work place, or academia. I think what is key to note about this University over others, is to keep in mind that it is a STEM school. The term implying, Science - Technology - Engineering - Mathematics. The employment rate for graduated students is impressively high within 6 months after graduation, speaking in terms of the entire school. If you are interested in engineering, I recommend this exponentially growing University, that has ten folded in population since opening. The research being done here is inspiring, and students in their fourth year get to participate in CAPSTONE projects, work that is being supervised under a faculty member. This institution is under rated. Many schools don't take on 6 courses a semester, but here you do at least half your degree. The school is hardly over a decade in age and it has already accomplished so much. One improvement the University needs is an increase in overall school spirit. The campus isn't large and has pretty well two pubs. Not entirely feasible for an engineering student to attend those weekly pub nights with a demanding course load, but if you work hard enough you can participate and have fun. The school is located in North Oshawa, so it's important to understand that walking distances to many places is not the most ideal, and all the bars are downtown Oshawa..but you are here for an education right!
