Let's talk NΨ

[mystro]

Comon, I know you want to, last year we had a few people going into the program, so let's have a quick count of who is still here and why don't I know you IRL

[KennethToronto]

are you going into 3rd year eng. sci?

[Rebel_lord]

I rmbing specifically applying for this program because I didn't want to go in to UofT and I wanted to show my mom that I did actually apply to UofT.

lol

[Coolin]

I'm going into NSci next year.

[65505201]

4th year biomed :p

The Greek letter psi is actually pronounced "puh-SEE".

FYI.

I'm going into NSci next year.

Same.

Actually didn't plan to get in, but applied anyway, so here I am. Original idea was to go into Chem Eng. Gonna give it a shot, and if I do "well" (read: not get completely destroyed), I'll stay with it, if not, transfer to Chem.

Yay for realistic expectations!

Sounds like pussy?

engsci sux - end of story (really).

ELEC 0T3 + PEY.

Now back to business...

1). No one in the States (and even outside of Ontario) knows what the heck that program is, so even my friends who graduated from eng.sci elec. option say that they graduated from elec. eng.

2). Very very few companies (99% are located in Ontario) would prefer to hire eng.sci grad over grad from another option.

3). If you are going to eng.sci, you MUST go to grad. school, because all the cool eng.sci options start from there - aero, biomed, nano, etc. (4th year = 1 year of specialization for eng.sci's = nothing).

No, that would be PUH-see.

Psi is said "puh-SEE". Very short quick "puh".

that's a common reason for most people to be in eng sci.

it's also a stupid reason (i know from experience).

if you like chem and want to do chem then do yourself a favour and switch back into chemical.

no sense in doing something just to "not get completely destroyed".

Yo ViperZ...tsk tsk!

1) True. If you want to go into other professions - business, law, etc...nobody knows what EngSci is.

2) A lot of companies would prefer EngSci grads, just that very few look for jobs since most go to grad school...and generally the ones that look for jobs don't have excellent marks.

3) True, if you don't do grad school in aero, biomed, or nano you're kinda screwed. But you don't need grad school for options like comp and elec.

But the end suggestion - go elsewhere, much easier. EngSci isn't worth it.
