Thinking of going to graduate school after graduation?
Current EngSci students, join us for a special session with MSE Professor Jun Nogami (EngSci 8T0) about applying to graduate school in the US.
Learn what you can get out of graduate studies. Get tips on how to find and choose a US graduate school, program and supervisor that’s right for you. Hear advice on how to navigate US graduate school application processes.
Fourth year EngSci students, are you applying to graduate school this year?
Join Prof. Alan Chong for a special session to learn how to put your best foot forward with a strong personal statement.
This event has three components:
1. Watch Prof. Chong’s short video modules before the event—find them on the EngSci Info Hub’s Grad School Info page (utoriID login required):
- Understanding personal statements: What they are, and how to structure them
- Past experiences: Three example statements that show you how to decide what to include
- Future work, communication principles, and resources to help you
Once you’ve seen the videos, you probably have some questions about your specific situation, schools, and goals.
Come to the event to ask Prof. Chong about how to make the best impression and build a convincing argument for yourself through your personal statement.
2. Ask a question before the event
After you have watched the videos, you can submit or upvote questions for Prof. Chong ahead of the event through Slido, event code #966051. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions live during the event.
3. Attend the event
This event is open to EngSci students in their last year of study. Register for the session here. The Zoom link will be emailed to you.
Join us this month as former EngSci Chair, Professor Mark Kortschot (EngSci 8T4), highlights the key principles of 3D printing and addresses the possible benefits and limitations of this family of techniques.
Industrial designers have used 3D printing technology for almost 35 years to build prototypes of their designs, but the field has expanded dramatically over the past ten years. Now, 3D printers are used to produce a wide variety of things, including airplane parts, buildings, custom prosthetics, edible pastries, and more.
In this talk, Professor Kortschot will talk about the range of advanced materials now being used to print load-bearing parts, which has been the focus of his research over the past five years. He will also talk about the home hobbyist market, which has exploded recently due to the expiration of key technology patents.
To illustrate exactly what is involved, Professor Kortschot will present a live demonstration during the Lunch & Learn presentation. He will design a small part in a computer-aided design program on camera, create the printing file, and send it to the desktop printer in his office to show how easy the process is.

This workshop, hosted by Troost ILead will help first- and second-year EngSci students get the most out of their Engineering Science Education Conference (ESEC) experience.
You will learn strategies for networking in a professional setting (with speakers, faculty, and fellow classmates) and knowledge on how and what to prepare for the conference. These skills are more important now than ever in our current online-only circumstances.
Students will learn:
- Networking skills, approaches, & mindsets
- How to prepare for a networking situation
- The art of asking good professional questions
Register for the Prep Workshop here (utorID login required). This event is open to Year 1 and 2 EngSci students only.
Now in its 17th year, this annual conference aims to broaden our students’ horizons through engagement with world leaders in a wide range of sectors related to our program’s subjects.
EngSci students learn about research, education and career opportunities for young engineers from innovators and thought leaders in engineering-related fields.
Speakers share their expertise and career path through presentations and informal networking events.
ESEC 2022 will be a virtual conference with small group “fireside chats”, lectures, and more.
Check the ESEC 2022 website for info on this year’s line-up, how you can prepare, and ways to engage with the speakers.
Current EngSci students:
The registration link will be emailed to you in January, or find it in the EngSci Info Hub (UTORid login required).
See previous years’ line-ups here.
Are you an alum or friend of the program who would like to attend? Please email Christina Heidorn at engsci@utoronto.ca.
Discover U of T Engineering at this year’s Ontario Universities’ Fair (OUF)!
At this event, high school students can gather information and chat with staff and current students from our program.
Our Faculty will have a booth at the fair with representatives from all of our programs, including Engineering Science.
OUF runs from 9:30 am to 5 pm daily. Find full details and get your OUF Pass here.
