“I think the best way to change a girl’s mind so that she can keep her doors open for a future in STEM, is to show her why. To be able to see the future is power, and if a girl can see what she might be able to become and how she can change, and make a difference for the better (contribute to society) It would really make all the difference. We hear that we should take math and science in the future and not close our doors for better options, but the question is why? Why should I be interested in a future in STEM. To be shown what might happen if I were to pursue something would make me so much more open to the concept of not closing my doors.”
In Canada, there are 40 institutions offering 239 engineering accredited programs. That’s a TON of choice! In university, you can earn your engineering Bachelor’s degree in 4 years.
To get in an engineering program, you’ll need to take math and science all the way through high school:
- The following Grade 12 U/M courses. Averages needed to get in will vary by University and programs:
- English (ENG4U)
- Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)
- Chemistry (SCH4U)
- Physics (SPH4U)
- Advanced Functions (MHF4U)
- A competitive average (each school will have their own requirements)
- Ontario Secondary School Diploma (yep, you need to graduate high school!)
