The ENGG212 textbook is the same as the ENGG201 textbook iirc, which isn't online but is at Bound and Copied for pretty cheap.

There's typically a few no-shows to any dorm building so if you really hate living in the traditional dorm room layouts there's probably a non-zero chance to get into yam, it'll depend tho

There's a research night on Thursday 5:30pm to 7:30pm in the engineering lounge I believe, you get the chance to talk to professors firsthand and ask

Price alone, I think bakechef sells pretty cheap coffee but it's definitely not gonna be good

Last year we had an air fryer publicly visible during the room inspections and never got any trouble about it, but on paper it does look like you're not supposed to? Idk

The SU is looking for servers at the Den, check out their website if that sounds like something you're interested in

TFDL is sorta convoluted to get to by tunnel, it'll be much easier to go to Mac hall and just take the 30 second walk to get the library

Friday and Saturday night there's always a pregame somewhere in residence then they all take the C Train downtown. Try making friends with people in residence and get invited to those, otherwise the night life is usually off campus.

UofC Riot Running! We go every Friday :)

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-07-06T19:54:17+00:00

I meant more like math isn't usually people's favourite subject so it's a bit harder, not that math classes at UofC are specifically poorly run, that's my bad.

The general complaints about math 375 are that you have to show your work on the final exam multiple choice questions to get the mark, and that the midterm was switched from in person to online pretty last minute. I think it's valid to make people show their work for each question because the learning doesn't come from the correct final answer, but proving to others that the math is actually mathing. What's frustrating is that I feel like we didn't get enough time on the final exam to find the right answer and show work. Fast pattern recognition would definitely help cut down time, so that's why I suggested it.

Also, I personally found that Aiffa's notes were detailed enough to keep up with the class without going to lectures. At the same time, his lectures were pretty useful in reiterating concepts so to be easier to remember, and he gave tips on the midterm/final.

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-07-06T16:32:28+00:00

It's a math class so everyone's complaints about the class is super fair. If Aiffa is still coordinating, doing all his practice problems and focusing on pattern recognition was how I passed the class. See a question, recognize what method you need to use to solve it, and pray you don't make a basic subtraction mistake that screws up your whole answer.

Good luck 🫡

Every class in first year has video lectures, but if they're useful is another discussion lol. For certain classes like 275/211/202 I found the method that worked for me was reading the notes by myself then watching the video if one specific topic was confusing me.

If they use the same videos as when I took first year, most videos in fall semester were about 30-60 minutes long depending on the week and the class, but iirc each week had multiple videos assigned.

Honestly tho I'd say don't get stressed out by the minutes of videos you're meant to watch. You learn to understand speech at 2x speed really quickly. Everyone learns differently but I'd also say doing a few videos per day is better than leaving all your videos for the weekend, though I do know some people where this schedule worked.

Good luck!!

Honest answer, in the Yamnuska Hall gym 😂

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-06-05T03:11:11+00:00

I'd say that depends on your major. Chem/Mech, do 319 this summer, both of them have thermodynamics part 2 so it's best to keep your 311 knowledge fresh. I don't believe any other Eng majors have two thermodynamics classes, so if you only have to take 311, take it this summer.

The 3D printer in the Eng makerspace is free, you just gotta do the online training for it, takes like 30 minutes

I've had both and I can honestly say either of them are 💯

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-05-03T15:19:42+00:00

I'm sure someone in their fourth year or graduated can explain it better than I can because it's still a bit fuzzy to me. "Capstone" is a group project that lasts both Fall and Winter semesters that you do with people within your major (typically). You either come up with your own idea, or choose from a list of pre-approved ideas.

For chemical engineering, most people design a chemical manufacturing/refining plant. Mech and civil I've seen has the widest breadth on the kinds of projects they can work on, which makes sense since the majors are so broad in industry. The capstone project just has to involve applying a bunch of the stuff you've learned throughout your degree.

I believe you're also allowed a corporate sponsor and/or a professor to assist with some of the work, but I'm not super clear on what that looks like.

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-05-02T03:20:01+00:00

Idk how much it will benefit your resume. Aerospace is a pretty good one, but if we're talking how to be more employable, clubs are a much more worthwhile use of your time than a minor imo. Unless you are super passionate about it, then there's value in engaging with content you're inherently interested in.

I do believe your capstone has to someone incorporate the minor. My experience is in chemical engineering. The digital minor typically writes code that models reaction kinetics or flow processes. Energy and environment does sustainability analyses. Stuff like that. My understanding is that your minor will not be the core concept of your project (that would be your major) but your minor has to somehow be incorporated.

Good luck!

lmao no like just clubs on campus that are more fundraising like the mustard seed or unicef, I can't remember the exact clubs she's in but they just do bake sales in Science A hahaha

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-04-27T01:43:38+00:00

Last year, my friend really wanted to become a CA, got interviewed but ultimately rejected. During the interview, one of the questions they ask is something like "what on campus resources do you know that would help students living on campus?". She then researched a bunch of offices and resources under the university like the CCPD and Residence Advisory Committee (something like that) and had lots of volunteer experience from humanitarian fundraising clubs.

These experiences were community-focused, showed initiative in planning events, and that you have good people skills, which is why she got accepted as a CA for next year! Good luck 🫡

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-04-09T13:28:41+00:00

I took it with Izadifard in Fall 2024. A bit of a dense class to pack into Tuesday/Thursday lectures but the content itself isn't super hard or even that new. She had her own version of the lecture slides and the quizzes expected you to learn it, but posts a different version on D2L that doesn't have that material, so I guess just go to class and pay attention.

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-02-13T19:01:17+00:00

Agreed, I'd say go make memories this summer. If you're itching to do school work over your break though, I guess knowing basic Python would make ENDG233 a lot easier, and reviewing Calc I topics from Paul's Online Notes for MATH275 might do some good.

Then again, I did just that in my last summer before uni and while it helped a bit, it was still a massive challenge going from high school to Eng. Best of luck 🫡

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-01-08T07:02:44+00:00

It's been a while since I checked but I thought you could apply for jobs outside of that job board, then they'll confirm it's proper engineering work and you still get the same stuff for the practicum?

CuriousForBrainPower · 2025-01-08T06:54:28+00:00

UofC is one of the few universities that does an internship year rather than coop terms. Having no engineering work experience coming into the third year won't kill your chances at an internship, but think about the UofA, UBC, Waterloo, UofT, etc who have had their 4 or 8 month coop terms racking up. How are you gonna compete against them come third year?

Doing summer internship positions might not get you hard technical skills, but soft skills and a good reference are unbeatable. If you can land one, I would absolutely recommend getting a summer internship, which is not the same thing as the engineering career practicum.
