The Workshop - The engineering and computer science mentoring centre

The main purpose of the centre is to support undergraduate students in their studies and with their transition to the university life. Our mentors help students by guiding them and answering their questions.

Any student at the Faculty of Engineering can use this service completely free of charge.

Just started university? Have plenty of questions on your mind and don’t know who to ask? Having difficulties adjusting to university life? Then you came to the right place.

Are you a graduate student? If so, visit the Graduate studies mentoring centre.

Individual mentoring sessions

Want to improve your study skills? Individual consultations are a good way to improve topics such as:

concentration
exam preparation
memorization
time management
stress management
etc...

Examples of questions/subjects asked by the students:

How can I increase my grade point average?
How do I improve my study skills?
Where can I find a specific service on campus?
What do I need to include in a weekly calendar?
Where can I find discounted textbooks?
How can I find work-life balance?

Final exam review sessions

Finals 101 - Stress and Time Management

Friday March 30 2018
2: 30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
STE 1030

Are you feeling anxious and nervous about final exams? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the increasing workload? Join us for the workshop on Finals 101. In this workshop, we will discuss time and stress management skills in order to help you succeed! Time management is the key to being well prepared to challenge finals and we will give you different techniques and tips during the workshop. We understand that the exam period is a stressful time, but learning how to manage your stress will help you concentrate better on the task ahead.

We hope to see you soon!
