Engineering Career Guides
Career exploration is the process of learning about yourself and the world of work, identifying and exploring potentially satisfying occupations, then developing an effective strategy to realize your goals.
We recommend that students start planning their future career as early as possible.
To help you in this process, we have developed the McGill Engineering Student Centre 4-Year Plan, a summary of activities we recommend you get involved in from U0 to U3 to help you plan and prepare for a successful career.
