Join us for Fall Campus Week

Are you a high schools student considering studying in our program?

Sneak a peak at your future!

From October 23rd–30th, join U of T’s annual fall open house and learn what it’s like to make lifelong friends while making life-changing discoveries at the University of Toronto.

U of T Engineering programs, including Engineering Science, will be showcased on Saturday, October 23, with live interactive sessions.  Register for your spot today!

There’s so much to explore at the university. Have you heard about U of T Mississauga’s unique collection of 14,000+ games? Or the new, open-air academic resource quad that’s set to launch at U of T Scarborough, complete with shade sails, a fully equipped outdoor stage, accessible seating, and permaculture gardens? Have you heard about our 90+ mentorship programs, 10+ startup accelerators, or U of T St. George’s plans for a sparkling new Centre for Cultures, Civilizations, and Cities?

You can, very soon.

Starring a crackerjack cast of staff, students, and faculty from three world-class campuses, Fall Campus Week is your best chance to sample everything on tap at Canada’s #1 university. While we can’t open our doors to guests in person this year, we also can’t wait to host you online, answer your questions, and learn more about your future plans. So, let’s get you off to a great start.

Skule Lunch & Learn presents Drinking Water and Health – Should we be Concerned About Microplastics? @ Online event
Feb 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

 

U of T Engineering Lunch & Learn

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, 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!
