Get Answers! Book a Schulich School of Engineering Recruitment Visit to Your High School
The Schulich School of Engineering visits Calgary high schools informing students about careers in engineering, engineering at the U of C, student life and admission requirements. Visits typically take place in calculus, physics, or chemistry Grade 12 classes, or over a lunch period. A typical visit (takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes) includes a professor, a current engineering student, and the Recruitment and Awards Officer. We are pleased to personalize or expand visits to include a design activity or specific information on a unique research topic.
