First Year Courses
Sample TImetable
Here is a sample first-year timetable
Lectures are normal class hours. They are typically three hours per week and are taught by members of the faculty.
Tutorials give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have in a more informal and interactive atmosphere and are led by a teaching assistant (TA) who is pursuing graduate studies at U of T.
Practicals, often known as “labs”, allow for group collaboration or working with partners depending on the course.
First Year support team
The first-year team is filled with professionals who are here to ensure a smooth transition from high school to U of T Engineering. They will provide you with the resources you need to make decisions, as the choices you make in your first year will shape the rest of your academic career.
Some ways they provide support include:
Academic advising
The Summer foundation program
Weekly e-newsletter
The facilitation of Guided Engineering Academic Review Sessions (GEARS) led by upper-year academic mentors.
Exam Jam events designed to help you prepare and destress before final exams.
