<p>Ignore what TransEngCC (the ■■■■■) has to say about this topic. He doesnt go to U of T, and makes unwarranted claims. He also needs a primer on English grammer lol. </p>
<p>I graduated from Eng Sci (just 2 weeks ago) and have to say it is an extremely rigorous program, in line with what you said in your original post (6-7 courses, cramming, all nighters, etc), especially in the first two years.</p>
<p>I’d have to agree with eceuoftoronto for the most part…except for the facilities. Dude lol, compared to most other schools, I think U of T has a long way to go in terms of improving our facilities - I mean look at buildings like Walberg, Haultain, Mining - they are TERRIBLE. </p>
<p>If you can ignore that, engineering education (and Eng Sci in particular) is VERY good value for your money, and is well regarded elsewhere. More so, being offered at U of T in downtown toronto, if you live close by, all the better. Personally I commuted, but would have preferred to live downtown towards my 4th year (thesis work/design projects were very intense!)</p>
<p>Speaking from personal experience, even with mediocre grades in Eng Sci, I have been offered research and work positions in Stanford, Johns Hopkins and even abroad (the UK, Imperial college) in fields related to biomedical and electrical engienering.</p>
<p>So, if you decide to go into this program and slog it out, you’ll probably be reasonably well prepared for grad school/work after in engineering.</p>
