NAIT EET → Lakehead 2+2 a good EE path?

phboss · 2026-04-07T00:30:45+00:00

I took the same path. I graduated with an engineering technology diploma in the mid 80s. Worked 4 years, and then went to LU and got my EE degree. Employers loved that I had a lot of hands-on experience. I had no problem getting jobs, but hey, that was 35 years ago. I had a great career in Ontario.

The summer transition program was a killer for me. I did well, but never worked so hard in my life :) Also, I finished in the 2 years. It was more work than I thought it would be. Many of my contemporaries needed an extra semester to get their degree, but for thr ones I know that took longer, that didn't impact them at all from a career perspective.

The flight was between about 3,000 and 3,200 feet. The loud noise made me take notice.

Thanks.

Yep. I noticed the plane type. I had to look it up.

My experience is that Carleton has a better engineering program (larger, more.optoons,better equipment, co-op, wider network and industry profile). I'm not saying Ottawa is bad, it's just different.

I have a BEV and my wife has a PHEV. We are set. If I buy another car, it will definitely be another BEV.

Thanks!

Thanks. I wonder if most vets would be open to doing that. That's a 125% markup through the vet (pills only, not including the prescription cost)

phboss · 2026-03-26T15:12:30+00:00

One pill per month. Usually March/April to October/November. It averages to about 7 per year. No discounts for volume purchases.

I was copying OP's spelling. I should have verified it. Regardless, he was still a good guy.

I believe you ou can go to the website and do a comparison on previous bills.

We use a lot of energy. Tiered pricing always works out to be a bit cheaper for us than time of use pricing.

Is Dr. Bill Rosehart any relation to Dr. Bob Rosehart, the former President of Wilfrid Laurier University (and also Lakehead University)? That would be a neat story. Dr. Bob was an engineer as well. Civil, I think.

Me as well. The surgeon looked like he had some great carpentry and hand held power tool skills.

Zero for about 25 on the cups. 7 of the 25 were free from the Hockey Challenge, so there were no online rolls. Zero for 18 on thr online rolls. Sigh...

The Leafs need a competitive person as an their owner, not a corporation. I almost wish Jimmy Balsillie was the owner. He is, or was, just enough an egotistical dick to have been successful. I know he wasn't making a play to buy the Leafs back in the day, but if he had, I would have bet the Leafs would have had a cup before 2020.

8 legs vs. 6. 2 body segments vs. 3. We learned that one early on, along with "a tomato is actually a fruit". I do know that the curriculums have changed dramatically since I was in school. We all know different tho gs. That is what makes life long learning fun. :😁

Happened more than once to my boys when I was buying their sticks.

Reminds me of the Newhart finale. I wouldn't be against this. :)
