Your career possibilities
When deciding where to study engineering, there were many factors I considered; Ontario Tech was the stand-out school for each one. The industry connections stood out—Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation to name a couple. You learn from upper-year students during your placements and also know that these reputable companies trust the university.Ontario Tech goes above and beyond to support their female engineering students; from the lifelong friendships fostered through the Women in Engineering Society, to scholarships for females.

Real-world solutions to real-world challenges
Engineering and Applied Science alumnus Hamayal Choudhry created a 3D-printed robotic prosthetic hand for amputees. With a camera built into the palm, the hand uses Microsoft Azure computer vision and machine-learning technology to identify objects, and calculate the most appropriate grip for them. The more the hand is used, the more accurate it becomes. Hamayal took home the grand prize at Microsoft’s Imagine Cup, a global startup competition the company held in 2018.
