move ins are a crazy time

Hello, am attending Carleton this year as a first year. My program is Media Production and design. Looking for people in my program. Looking to create new friends and join clubs. My hobbies are video games, gym, hiking, I want to cook more. And I do walks quite often. Don’t be shy give me a text through here or insta @whotfconny . Not sure if I can get msg from non followers.

any opinions cuz i cant find them on rate my prof

Hey!
So for first year engineering, if you are assigned specific sections for ECOR 10XX courses but the assigned sections do not suit your schedule, are you allowed to switch to a different section?
Should I submit an override request to switch sections, or is there another process for this?

Hi everyone, I am just seeking some advice from any engineering students at Carleton about landing coops/internships. Any tips if you are outside of the coop program and if it was difficult for you to land roles? Did Fswep help out a lot? Just want to know what worked for you to make your journey successful or if you had any regrets you wish you did?

I know that for comp sci everyone uses the jake's template formula but I'm curious about eng students and civil eng in particular what is the preffered resume template or if it is the same as jake's resume?

Please let me know :) Seeking advice for a friend!

Just wondering has anyone had their part-time osap application enrolment confirmed yet? When does the school usually confirm this? Thanks!

this is rlly random and has nothing to do with school rlly, but i’m new here and have zero friends and i was wondering if there’s anyone on campus who watches f1 or is into it at all cause id love to hang out with ppl and watch a race sometime

Hi! I'm interested in applying to work at the Carleton pool this year, however I'm just a little hesitant about the deeper dive tank area. I was wondering if someone could give some insight into the screening process?

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the prof that taught ELEC3909 this early summer. I can't find any info on them as they are quite new I believe, so no rate my prof. Their name is Mahya Shahmohammadimehrjardi.

thanks,

I'm a student who learns best from textbooks rather than lecture notes, Im trying to figure out which of my courses I should primarily learn from textbook, verses where I should prioritize lectures/ tutorials.

These are the courses I’m taking this semester:

• BIOL 1103 – Foundations of Biology I
• CIVE 2200 – Mechanics of Solids I
• MAAE 2300 – Fluid Mechanics I
• MAAE 2400 - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
• MATH 1005 – Differential Equations and Series for Engineering and Physics

For anyone whos taken these courses which ones are more textbook-heavy, and for which ones would you recommend prioritizing lectures, tutorials, or given practice problems instead?

Hi everyone!

I recently graduated with a B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering from SRMIST, Chennai, India, with an overall CGPA of 7.44/10.

I'm planning to pursue my Master's in Canada and I'm currently considering:

• Carleton University – Ottawa
• Concordia University – Montreal

I'm looking at both M.Eng. and MASc. programs in Aerospace Engineering.

My main areas of interest are:

• Aeronautical Propulsion / Gas Turbines
• Aircraft Systems
• Preliminary / Conceptual Aircraft Design

I'd really appreciate some honest advice from current students, alumni, or people working in the Canadian aerospace industry.

Carleton vs Concordia

If you had to choose between the two today, which one would you pick for Aerospace Engineering and why?

I'm particularly interested in:

• Quality of aerospace courses and professors
• Labs, projects and practical exposure
• Research opportunities
• Connections with the aerospace industry
• Internship/co-op opportunities
• Career outcomes after graduation

M.Eng vs MASc

This is probably my biggest dilemma.

If my goal is to work in the aerospace industry after graduation, especially in propulsion, aircraft systems or aircraft design:

• Would you recommend M.Eng. or MASc.?
• How different are the career opportunities?
• Is MASc worth it if I'm not sure about doing a PhD?
• How difficult is it to get a MASc supervisor?
• How much funding can MASc students realistically expect?
• Are M.Eng. students able to get internships/RA/TA opportunities?

Aerospace jobs in Canada

For international students, how difficult is it actually to get an aerospace job after graduation?

I'd especially love to hear from anyone working in areas like:

• Propulsion / Gas Turbines
• Aircraft Systems
• Aircraft Design
• CFD / Simulation
• Aerospace R&D

How important are internships and Canadian work experience?

And realistically, how competitive is it to get into companies such as Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney Canada, CAE, Airbus, etc.?

Ottawa vs Montreal

For someone coming from India:

• Which city is better for aerospace opportunities?
• Which is more affordable?
• Which has better student life?
• Can you comfortably live without a car?
• How good/reliable is public transportation?
• How difficult is the winter?
• How easy is it to find accommodation?
• What is a realistic monthly budget?

One specific concern about Montreal:

How important is French for getting internships/jobs in the aerospace industry?

Would you recommend Montreal to someone who currently doesn't speak French?

Accommodation & student life

For current students:

• Is university residence worth the cost?
• Is it better to live near campus or farther away and save money?
• Which neighborhoods would you recommend?
• What is the typical rent for a room in a shared apartment?
• How easy is it to find roommates?
• What is student life actually like?
• Is it easy to make friends as an international student?
• Is there a good Indian/South Asian student community?
• How is the food situation? 😅 Are Indian groceries/restaurants easily accessible?

Academics

A few practical questions:

• How strict is attendance?
• Are lectures recorded?
• How many hours per week do you realistically spend on coursework?
• Is it manageable to work part-time alongside the Master's?
• How accessible are professors?
• How much group/project work is involved?

Finally...

I'd really appreciate answers to these three questions from anyone who has been through this:

1. If you were in my position, would you choose Carleton or Concordia?

2. Would you choose M.Eng. or MASc. for an aerospace industry career?

3. What is one thing you wish you knew before moving to Canada for your Master's?

I'm especially interested in hearing from Indian/international students who have gone through either program, but everyone's perspective is welcome.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

anybody know some easy in person 1st year classes? Bengali worm fishing 1001, Mongolian throat singing 1005, whatever bro I’m desperate as long as it’s easy
