Good

  • Challenging environment because of their disorganization
  • Project based
  • Co-op program experience available
  • Best profs are in the math department so enjoy your classes, very helpful and caring profs who really care about your understanding of the material

    • Bad

  • High tuition $5000+ tuition, final total after fees $6000+ (my final bill was for $6600 for 1 semester of 3 courses)
  • Paying stupid fees - ei "vagina monologues", "peak", "G-Opirg Fee", etc. I could do without all of these fees thanks—$400 of fees
  • DO NOT PAY YOUR EQUIPMENT FUND, its $40 a year and for your final term project (4 month project), you will spend 2 months of it applying for the money and then 1 month waiting for parts to arrive. You pay $200 a student over your school career so if your group of 4 students plans to spend over $800 then pay for it else it is a waste of your time and any components paid for with the lab fund money MUST be returned. So basically, your paying to help their lab fund increase and your losing your $200 because you don't get to keep your final project
  • Co-op office doesn't do it's job correctly and yet I pay my co-op fees, very unhelpful and high fees, $270 for your 8 academic semesters and $270 for each work term you do. And if you enter in late missing the first two semester fees they provide a revised payment schedule saying your following semester you owe for 3 semesters of $810. The co-op office is suppose to inform the accounting office of this change and they don't, and if you don't catch it yourself only after you apply for graduation will it be realized your missing this money. They then will give you 1 week notice to pay otherwise your convocation papers will be withheld.
  • Many homework assignments are either given non-readable answers if answers are provided at all. Some homework problem solving questions are provided as the sole source of practice and no solutions are provided to indicate that your doing the work correctly. Many times it is up to the student to track down a TA and find out if your doing the work correctly, if you can the TA and if that TA speaks english.
  • Many TAs don't care and don't speak english, same with several profs - some you can tell they are their for their research and the classroom is 2nd or 3rd in their books
  • Last year of my schooling, had no lab technician and the school had plenty of notice that they needed to hire someone to replace Nate the previous technician. So several labs we used faulty equipment, had no assistant in resolving lab difficulties. I had a faulty connector and could not find a replacement cord and had to go back to the lab another day to finish this work - hours wasted between original lab trouble shooting and then redoing the work.
  • Courses are jam packed with so much material that profs do not always finish the material. The next semester will always say something like "you should of learned this last year" and we respond with "no" and the prof continues to teach like we already knew the material.
  • Mechatronics course was highly disorganized, no structure the new prof was giving this course with little notice weeks before it began and had to create material on the fly. He then proceeded to teach this course like we took this one really hard optional class where maybe 4/24 students took as if it was a pre-req. He attempted to teach this entire optional class within a 3 week window of the mechatronics class <—all unacceptable
  • Many engineering classes not held in the engineering building and you sometimes have only 10mins to RUN across campus from stone road to college road. In the winter this commute is very tough and very windy as the campus has no tunnels.
  • You will start almost everyday of week at 8:30, and some days you will go to a night class finishing at 9:50pm and have huge gaps in between.
  • Some classes do not give any prep material and some profs reuse 6-10 year old tests word for word and number for number. So it was advantageous of those students lucky enough to have studied from those tests and totally unfair to others.
  • Some classes will provide a So this school is saying only regurgitated info is relevant and real world experience is not. BE careful, one prof tried to pull this on us and did it in an illegal way by informing us after the drop date and they tried to withhold 20% of my grade and fail me. You can fight this, and make sure you do so asap because you have a short window to submit a complaint. I did this and won and passed the course because I was like 2% off passing the written portion and I had like a 98% grade of the lab side of the class, this made a huge impact on my final grade - this class was also a class where the prof barely spoke english and his teaching style was copying and pasting pictures from the textbooks on slides and jsut flipping through the slides in class <—unacceptable teaching method I can flip through and self teach myself from the text book I don't pay for school to have a textbook narrated to me.
  • this con list can go on and on, attend another University unless you want a school that is disorganized and charges more than most other schools for it's engineering department <—3 classes final semester = $6000 eventhough these were not 0.5 credit courses, they were a 1.0 and two 0.75 credits this price is staggering for 3 classes especially since these classes did not required extra work on the teaching side or TAs, these were high in credits because the work load of the student is higher since all 3 were design classes. $6000 = 3 classes, lol
