At UVic it's a great place to study
Electrical and Computer Engineering
because it offers a diverse undergraduate 
program. You get to learn
all the things you need to know as a
successful engineer. On top of that I
think the co-op program offered at UVic
is a great way to help students get out
during their undergrad study and really
gain real-world working experience.
When I'm sitting in a classroom and they're
talking about a topic I can instantly
connect that to a real problem
so it really takes what you're learning
in a textbook and then puts
 it right in your hands.
In third year I applied to Starfish Medical 
as an electrical engineering co-op student
I really wanted to work for a company that was
making a bigger impact on the world that
we live in. Working at Starfish
 has really filled up
a lot of products that I work on
actually see through to manufacturing
and actually can find them out in the
real world benefiting humans.
So I'm on the the University of 
Victoria's Hybrid Team
It's a student-run club and we design
and build a race car that races in a
competition internationally every year.
I chose the Hybrid Team because of its
connection to green technology and
that's what I'm passionate about.
Connecting with tech companies in the
field is a great reason to be part of
any club on campus.
I think the most important aspect of engineering is the engineering design process where you
find a problem, you brainstorm solutions,
you build and test prototypes, and then
you finalize and release the product to
the world to make the world a better place.
