Momentum: The First Year Engineering Conference (September 15-17)
The purpose of the First Year Engineering Conference is to provide first year students with professional development and leadership skills. By attending this conference, first year students will be given the tools necessary to succeed throughout their university career and beyond. By providing workshops, guest speakers, and hands-on activities, first year students will become more well-rounded, and learn how to get involved within the Waterloo Engineering community! Momentum will take place September 15-17, and will feature a tour of the design bay, a panel from Engineering leaders in industry, and the opportunity for mentors and mentees to connect with a fun event.
The Engineering Society is committed to helping students through their first year in Waterloo Engineering and offers many events and services specifically for first year engineering students. For more information, email: firstyear@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca
