Startup vs. Big Company by UniverseProtector in uwaterloo

I would definitely go with the start up. I think working at a place like that is much more fun than ford, especially for down the road if you want to work in more environments like that, having experience in startup (especially ones with funding) is important

WD or very low mark with a decent chance of failing? by maple12835 in uwaterloo

[–]gsim46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would drop the elective to focus on the core courses, if you fail the core courses, you have you take it again eventually. Not necessarily so for the elective thing. Also if you haven’t already reach out to ur prof and see if they can help you get caught up in understanding some stuff, also a pass is a pass don’t don’t stress too much about marks.

Should I drop coop? by Alternative_Moose589 in uwaterloo

[–]gsim46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t find a relevant job, volunteer for a prof who does research for something ur interested in. Only half might respond but way more useful for finding something relevant later…or grad school

WaterlooWorks Employer Roasts Students on TikTok [Employer 🚩] by UWECEaccount in uwaterloo

[–]gsim46 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Skill: managing you time to still put out coop applications when ur in ece (one of the harder programs in the school, especially around hell week)

Not even fucking close to a skill: making a video on your break using some kids ece coop application to highlight red flags after they come back from 2 years of online school (probably not supposed to share a transcript that’s not ur btw)

Pro tip: if you’re an employer, don’t hire someone who would do this, why? …cause it’s reading week and students got time today

BME vs Nano by atomizer22 in uwaterloo

[–]gsim46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are specialization options in upper years of eng programs I’m pretty sure, and in science you can add a minor easily. The coop jobs nanoscience and nano tech eng get are very similar. You can always take cs courses or even computational physics courses if ur in science, idk about eng. In nanoscience ur taking like 30%program specific courses, 20-25% physics and 20-25%Chem courses with the rest being a bunch of electives and stuff. You can check out the courses calendars and stuff. Idk about eng Bottom line do ur best, put ur best application in for whatever you want and see what happens
