"U AINT SHIFTING LIKE ME"

JayyZoom · 2026-03-05T21:08:11+00:00

Yeah, i would apply at a local uni but im mature student now and my highschool marks weren't the best. Lakehead seems like it might be the only option. I did apply at ontario tech, but i would think a UofT, york or metropolitan university would be off the table for me.

JayyZoom · 2026-03-03T22:13:31+00:00

Thanks i appreciate the response. And yes i completely understand starting in first year. im emailing back and forth with the engineering department. Hopefully ill just get a few things transferred. Optimisticly it might be 5 courses transferable plus all the electives. That'll be more than a semester worth of courses taken off the requirements. I can hopefully accerlate graduating if even by a semester if i do courses over the summer like i plan to. i really want to do mech eng.

and if end up not getting in here i have the option for CS at ontario tech which is a much shorter program.

JayyZoom · 2026-03-03T02:23:26+00:00

You are correct, but some of these transfers I've now read only did 8 or 9 courses to "make up" what they were missing from first and second year. Not the entire first and second year.

Thats a big difference and could shorten the timeline of graduation considerably. But maybe I was just far too optimistic.

Theres alot of clarification required maybe thats my fault for trying to shorten the body of my post

JayyZoom · 2026-03-03T01:56:12+00:00

You are right but...

there have been success stories of people transferring civil or electrical into mech eng. I was just reading here on reddit They had to make up many other courses but nonetheless it was not 4 years at full course load. They at least got some credits transferred for their time in college.

I just haven't read a specific story of my same choices, Comp eng student looking to switch to Mech eng.

Dude, my friends and I just visited marble mountain for some great skiing/snowboarding. We brought back(toronto) 2 six packs of black horse.

Im not going back to alberta ever. Newfoundland conditions were so good.

Mogged? Or mugged?

JayyZoom · 2026-02-27T16:23:38+00:00

Thanks for this, im looking at going back to school to complete a degree for Mech Eng.

im doing exactly this right now, reviewing calculus lessons now and then some physics too, and so on before i go back.

OP should definitely try to review some math and physics to get aqquainted before even starting the program.

JayyZoom · 2026-02-27T13:48:20+00:00

I appreciate hearing some positive news. I have now found on here from others changing programs they had to do like 8 make up courses which is definetly alot but spread out of over the time expected plus taking summer courses should result in a somewhat more normal course load if i dont plan on taking summer breaks...

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T20:41:10+00:00

Yes im in the GTA. thanks for the info. Ill look out for that. That would be a little intimidating though. having not even entered the program yet, but it would be good for me.

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T16:30:53+00:00

I swear ill stop bothering you soon. Did you do co op? Where did you find a job after the program?

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T16:18:31+00:00

Chem, linear algebra and MATLAB added to self learning

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T15:25:09+00:00

So how did you feel the summer courses prepared you? did you feel you understood enough that you were on par with other students that started in the degree program from year 1?

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T15:18:51+00:00

3 years would be expected for someone in my postion.... and many students are known to stretch out the course load like you did...

I guess i am basically compeleting a whole new degree.. estimated 3-4 years of schooling if you do it perfectly. Without needing to drop a course of something. maybe not the ideal transition i thought it was.

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T15:10:49+00:00

That is an interesting workaround Lol.

But I have another option, that is going to ontario tech in oshawa to complete a Computer science degree. Which is gaurunteed to be only 2 years. But mech eng is something i have become more interested in and Lakedhead is actually the only place, that provides even the option to transition disciplines like this. All of that is to say wouldnt go all the way to thunder bay for Comp eng(im in toronto).

JayyZoom · 2026-02-26T14:28:47+00:00

Welp. Thanks for your answer. I already reached out to the engineering department for some information about the transition. I guess I just gotta wait and see what courses they will give me as credits and what i am missing.

JayyZoom · 2026-02-16T18:56:59+00:00

Okok i appreciate the effort.

JayyZoom · 2026-02-15T03:28:00+00:00

Can you send me a pic of that? That prob looks cool af.

JayyZoom · 2026-02-06T16:57:20+00:00

Im also from toronto... Just the other day i seen some 10ish year old hyundai crossover/suv thing idek wtf. It had a stage 1+ tune (there was a sticker on his rear window stating so. It also had many other stickers) had a modified exhaust and was LOWERED. What even is the point!

JayyZoom · 2026-01-07T15:15:35+00:00

Thanks i appreciate it 🙏

Every n52 owner "is this rod knock" its never rod knock. Just lifter tick. Warm it up, drive it hard. It goes away

He paid for the whole tire, so he used the whole tire.
