In addition to the weekly GEARS Sessions, EngSci students can also chat with a GEARS Mentor 1-on-1. If you have questions about Engineering Science, different study habits or time management strategies, or would like to learn more about our leaders’ experience in EngSci (including about their Majors, clubs, summer research or PEY opportunities) they’d love to chat!
Today’s Tea with a GEARS Mentor is with Nkemjika. Tea not required!

U of T Engineering alumni, join us for this monthly series.
Did you know that the Drinking Water Research Group (DWRG) at the University of Toronto has received funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), as well as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to investigate microplastics in Canadian drinking water? Efforts by the DWRG over the past three years have led to the development and subsequent refinement of advanced microplastic sampling and analysis techniques, allowing us to focus on the different health impact related issues.
But what exactly are Microplastics and why are they referred to as a “triple threat”?
U of T Engineering alumni, join us for this monthly series.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a part of the standard physical scientist’s tool kit, and it is regularly used to discover exciting new materials and processes. But AI is famously fickle, susceptible to data set bias and imbalance, subject to information leakage during training, and reliant on humans to evaluate its performance.
Professor Jason Hattrick-Simpers (MSE) discusses best practices for the implementation of AI techniques in the field of materials science, the challenges and successes of his research, and why he believes that robots can help us learn to better trust AI.

Accessibility Services invites you to attend a free, virtual conference from June 15 to 17, 2022. This conference explores the enhancement of equity, accessibility and inclusion within professional programs, specifically within practicums and experiential learning settings.
The conference will include presentations by U of T professional program faculty, staff and students on a range of creative strategies, accommodations, technology and initiatives that facilitate success for students with disabilities in professional programs.
Sessions include:
- Critical Legal Cases in Professional Faculty Accommodations
- Adaptive Technology in Professional Placement Settings
- Navigating Intersecting Identities – A Student Panel Discussion…and many more.
Learn more about the Strengthening Accessibility Conference and register today.
U of T offers so many resources to students, such as GEARS, Accessibility Services, Mental Health and Wellness, Writing Workshops, and so much more!
Come to this pop-up session to learn about U of T’s resources and how to access and navigate them, play our Resource Recall Game to win prizes, enjoy some snacks, and walk away feeling more confident about who to reach out to if you ever need support!
The engSuccess mentors host many events for engineering students throughout the year. Check out the full list of events hosted by the engSuccess mentors and U of T Engineering Learning Strategist!
U of T Engineering alumni, you’re invited to this monthly series.
Join fellow graduates to learn about exciting research in diverse subjects from U of T Engineering professors.
Experiential Learning in Engineering Education: “A Golden Age for Makers”
In society, the growing demands placed on individuals are becoming increasingly more complex and challenging to handle. However, hands-on learning opportunities can help prepare students with the competencies required to devise effective solutions to real-world problems.In January 2022, the Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with Professor Sean Hum, launched an exciting new second-year course, ECE295 – Hardware Design and Communication, which has students working in teams to design, build and test a complete electronic system from scratch.“Students are involved from the conceptual and computer-aided design right down to the mounting of components on the circuit boards, as well as using a variety of modern test and measurement equipment and debugging their designs,” Professor Sean Hum says. “That end-to-end experience isn’t available at other universities — not at the second-year level.”Join us on April 5 at the Faculty Club to hear Professor Sean Hum share his rationale for implementing this innovative new course in our curriculum and how it advances student success.Guests will have an opportunity to network with some of the talented students from ECE295 and to to view some of the final hardware design products created by the students themselves!
Are you a new first-year international EngSci student? The First Year E-Buddy Program is here to support you with your transition to the Faculty and the University!
E-Buddies are upper-year engineering peer mentors who will provide support by answering questions about life at U of T Engineering, sharing their experiences, and providing information about campus resources. They will also provide informal programming and events to build community amongst international students, as well as provide support through structured workshops and events.
All first-year international U of T Engineering students are eligible to participate in this program.
