What is Engineering Orientation Week?

Engineering Orientation is a time to be introduced to the Faculty of Engineering and all it has to offer. Throughout the week, 18 teams will battle it out in various engineering challenges. Show up to events to find out more! The theme is Once Upon a Week 🧚👑 Check out the O-Week schedule on Portal above 👆

The Toolbox is one of the Ask Me Booths run during Orientation! As such, it provides: 💜 A safe place for new students and their families to ask upper year students questions about navigating around campus 💜 Relevant and correct information regarding Orientation, campus services and resources to our incoming students 💜 An opportunity for activities/games and a photobooth for wayward travellers
