Prepare

Planning for Engineering is your first step in completing your Engineering degree. It is no secret that Engineering is a lot of work, but a little preparation can help minimize this. 

Very few students realize how success in Engineering all can rest in the first semester. That's why the preparation you will gain with this guide is vital leading up to your first day of Engineering.

Be Course Savvy

One of the first steps is understanding the types of courses you will take in Engineering.  This handbook describes  in detail what you can expect from each course and how you can prepare for them. In particular it will prepare you for the 4 "weeder" courses that are meant to separate the students.

Who Needs This Guide

  • Students: This guide will give you all the resources you need to succeed in Engineering.
  • Parents: If your child is going into Engineering, you have a lot of questions. This guide will give you confidence that your child will be prepared when they enter Engineering and have the skills needed to succeed.
  • Teachers: Your students obviously have a lot of questions.and this guide will has all the answers.

Why Traditional Education Fails

Traditional education fails to adequately prepare students for the massive amount of information that is thrown at Engineering students. Current education systems are designed to be general enough to apply to all students, but this is not good enough for engineering students. This guide fills in those gaps by focusing the students attention to the important facts and easy to follow steps to conquer Engineering.

Work Smart, Not Hard

Get the best grades through tried and tested methods. If you are like most students, the study habits you have were developed with the idea that you could ace every assignment with lots of time to spare.  Your first month in Engineering is a harsh wake up call that this is no longer possible.  Only the top engineering students routinely follow study habits that drive them to the top of their class. By understanding the structure of the semester and how to make the most of your time you will have more time to enjoy your university experience.

Set Your Expectations

The truth is that engineering is hard. But maybe that's what drives you towards it. Maybe you enjoy solving problems that require a lot of planning and thought.  Maybe derivatives make you smile... Either way, we have you covered!
 

Bonus: Get The Job You'll Love

A common misconception by most students is that when they graduate they will have the job of their dreams.  The reality is that most employers are looking for very specific skills from engineering students throughout their degree.  As a bonus, the engineering guide will help you prepare for this reality through various tips and strategies.
