<p>What kind of changes are you seeing at your engineering school? </p>
<p>Memorial University of Newfoundland, a USnews top 10 school in Naval Architecture and marine engineering, is switching from a 5/6 year model to a 4-year model that includes 1/3 of one's time in industry internships. The calendar year is divided in thirds: two for academics, one for internship. </p>
<p>Applicants who come in with AP Chem (score 5), AP Calc (score 3) and AP physics (score 3) and take the required engineering fundamental class in summer, will be placed on a 4 year cycle. </p>
<p>What innovative changes is your school making to reflect the competitive and financial realities today's market?</p>
<p>PS Tuition c$15,000; application = name address phone number and HS transcript. Top facilities - but they turn out the very best engineers! But very very cold.</p>
<p>are you in this school? I was kinda surprised when i read its a top 10 Naval Architecture and marine engineering school. </p>
<p>In Canada you mostly hear of Waterloo, Toronto and maybe UBC as top engineering schools.</p>
<p>I think a number of schools have examined their engineering programs and made adjustments to try to reasonably allow one to graduate in 4 years. It can be difficult for engineering since so many courses are required and they’re tougher courses with heavier HW loads.</p>
<p>all Canadian schools have a 4 year core curriculum with 3 terms, 2 of which are for studying Sept -Dec, January - April and May - August is for working if you want. </p>
<p>I understand that in America you guys have quarters. How does that work? it is 3 quarters studying and 1 quarter is off / work term?</p>
