U Waterloo's Mathematics,Biotechnology/Chartered Accountancy 和 UT's Engineering Science 去哪一个？

[ate-star]

要在多大的Engineering Science和滑铁路的Mathematics,Biotechnology/Chartered Accountancy里选一个，当然，主要取决小孩儿的志向。想请过来的家长和高人指点！

多大的Engineering Science教什么？哪方面？现在这专业名称越来越怪了。

The following is from their web site:

Engineering Science at U of T is an enriched program that provides students with excellent preparation in a wide range of fields. Top students from across Canada and around the world choose to study in this program, making for a superb peer group that contributes significantly to the quality of the program and the student experience. On the order of two-thirds of the program’s graduates pursue post-graduate studies at top graduate schools around the world and, because of the rigor of their undergraduate experience, they generally perform very well. Graduates of the program are also well qualified to immediately embark on professional engineering-related careers.

Engineering Science is separate from the other Engineering programs at the University of Toronto. The Engineering Science program has a unique “2+2” curriculum structure, namely a 2-year foundation curriculum followed by a 2-year specialization curriculum. In the first two years, students develop a strong foundation in both engineering and science. Students then select one of eight Majors (Aerospace, Biomedical, Electrical & Computer, Energy Systems, Infrastructure, Mathematics, Statistics & Finance, Nanoengineering or Physics) to focus on in their final two years. Other key distinguishing program features of note are:

• The Engineering Science program is designed and delivered at a level that is more academically demanding;
• The Engineering Science program contains more mathematics, science and engineering science, with greater focus on deriving results using a first principles approach;
• The Engineering Science program requires that all students complete an independent research-based thesis project.

Engineering Science students also benefit from a very strong design and communication curriculum integrated throughout the program, providing considerable support to their wide variety of post-graduation endeavors. In addition to providing students with a superb academic background, the Engineering Science program produces graduates who are fast learners with strong analytical, problem-solving and organizational skills. Graduates tend to be well-rounded, with interests that extend beyond the curricular to include leadership, volunteerism and community-building.

你查查。。这里讨论过这个。。很具挑战的一个专业。。进去的都是最好的学生。。

 

[rosehip]

Chartered Accountancy.应该是不错的选择。

 

[zeus190]

Biotechnology/Chartered Accountancy for sure.
课程很繁重，淘汰率高但是4大行都在毕业后等着。

 

[Snowy day]

Bio/ca总共十来人，会淘汰几个呢? Bio 的课程有什么优势呢?

 

[abcd2013]

这个看小孩的兴趣吧，biotechnology 和 ca 放在一起的专业，感觉有点儿weird.

这是两个完全不同的领域，总要选择一个主修方向。一个是实验室，一个是数字。

小孩自己是啥意思？

 

[笨妈笨爸]

他说的应该是三个专业。哪能把会计和生物技术放一起啊。

 

[abcd2013]

他说的应该是三个专业。哪能把会计和生物技术放一起啊。

看了uw的网页，确实是有这么个专业。

 

[好兵帅克]

Waterloo! Engineering science is hard. Not worth the work

 

[abcd2013]

“As a graduate with a foundation in science and accounting, you'll be well prepared for careers in areas such as accounting, business development, and financial analysis.”

最终还是要当accountant的，我感觉没啥必要去学biotechnology。因为生物技术是很复杂的很多学科的统称，大学里学那么几门，基本就是皮毛。看那些实习的单位，也没啥综合的，要么会计要么纯技术岗位。

滑鐵盧的專業設計太細太實際。。。這個專業我相信工作市場應該不錯。。。，bio裡那些花活一般學accountancy的進去沒訓練真玩不轉。。問題是這種所謂的交叉學科真是不倫不類。。個人意見，歡迎扔磚@村長。。

 

[西西妈]

俺听说生物领域这专业老火了，相当于十几年前学挨踢

实际上是三选一：UW的Math Ca, Bio Ca 和 UT的Engineering science。儿子比较喜欢理工科，知道UW的 Bio Ca 不错，毕业后工作也好。但好象学的课程理工的不多。他有点儿偏向UT的Engineering science。可是，还有另外的因数：我儿子是个competitive swimmer, 他现在的水平非常接近Senior National Standard, 他还想在大学继续游泳，但多大的男队是加拿大的No.1, 即使达到Senior National Standard，也不一定能进去。到现在，多大的主教练也没给最后的答复。正是纠结中。

谢谢LS各位的回复。
