Over the last twelve years ESEC has grown to be one of the cornerstones of the EngSci experience. This lively, day-long event brings leading minds from a wide range of engineering disciplines to Toronto to share their insights with EngSci students. “ESEC is an important EngSci tradition and we are so happy to hold this event each year,” says Professor Deepa Kundur, Chair of the Division. “This year’s speakers were outstanding and our students were well deserving of the experience to listen to an interact with eminent members of their fields.” For students in the foundation years, this is a rare chance to hear about current research and career trends from thought leaders in their respective areas.
