Welcome Package I 4
Greetings!
The pursuit of an engineering degree is hard work, yet amazingly exciting. As you develop intellectually during your educational journey, you will be challenged and disputed, you will experience highs and lows, you will work harder than you think you are presently capable, and you will accomplish more than you think is achievable. You will then discover that this process of maturing intellectually is an art to be learned and an effort to be sustained, to become what you dream to become.
The first year of university is perhaps one of the most important and pivotal years of your educational journey. It is a year that can shape your future permanently. Accordingly, it is important that you give it the attention and dedication it deserves. I therefore urge you to take your first year of university very seriously, and to know that we are very keen on retaining you and doing all we can, while we can, to avoid losing you. The First-Year and Common Engineering Office (FYCEO) is here to help you adjust to university life. We provide many academic services and support for first-year students, including academic advising, personal counselling, career counselling and exploration, and workshops to facilitate student success. We work closely with Ryerson Universitys Student Learning Support Centre on initiatives like academic accommodation, support for English language, writing and math, study skills, and transition support.
We have also implemented the Early Intervention Program through which we identify students who are not doing well academically early in the semester, and encourage them to meet with a member of our support team to gain valuable advice on what they can do to avoid failure and from being withdrawn. In addition, we hold weekly extra help sessions and midterm and final study sessions for math, physics and chemistry courses. Our faculty, staff and student ambassadors work together to help students develop a course of study that enables them to achieve their academic and personal goals. Students are provided with support and encouragement in exploring their options and learning to make informed decisions.
To provide students with a competitive edge in todays rapidly changing engineering industry, we offer a range of minors and specializations such as: Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OSMS). The OSMS provides engineering and science students with a solid foundation in management sciences. Optional Specialization in Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OSEIE). The OSEIE provides engineering students with a solid foundation in innovation and entrepreneurship theory, as well as with the immersive experience of advancing and shaping ideas into a business.
Ryerson University is known for high-quality teaching and research, and a graduate employment record that is consistently one of the best in Ontario, with strong links to industry and provincial and federal government. All of the universitys academic, social and accommodation facilities are based on our attractive campus in the heart of downtown Toronto. We are proud of our close-knit, safe and friendly campus atmosphere which provides the perfect environment for academic success and a fantastic social life.
I look forward to welcoming you to the FYCEO family!
Dr. Lamya Amleh, P. Eng. Program Director/Academic Advisor First-Year and Common Engineering Office

FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING FAQ:When do I pick my first-year courses?All your first-year courses will already be selected for you except for your Liberal Studies course. You can view your schedule on RAMSS in early August. Its your responsibility to ensure that all of your required courses have been added.
What is a Liberal Studies Course? A Liberal Studies course is a course outside of engineering that is meant to enrich your learning experience in university. You must complete four Liberal Studies courses as part of your curriculum. Please check ryerson.ca/calendar for restrictions.
Can I take my Liberal Studies course later?Students can complete their Liberal Studies courses at any time before they graduate.
Where can I find all significant and important dates? They can be found on Ryersons Undergraduate Calendar.
How do I know which books & supplies I need to purchase for class?You will receive a list of required textbooks during the first week of classes. Other supplies can be purchased at Ryersons Campus Store.
What type of calculator & computer should I purchase? Students should have a simple, non-programmable scientific calculator. The permitted models are the Sharp EL-546 and the Casio FX-991. No specific computer is necessary (Mac & PC are both excellent choices).

ADVICE FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR
The resources that were available to me during my first year, such as the help of the FYCEO and the Math Assistance Centre, afforded me the chance to succeed. The fundamentals that I learned during that first year were essential for my continued success for the remainder of the Electrical Engineering program. Study as much as possible, ask help whenever you can, and reward yourself by having some fun once youve earned the downtime. - Stan Balshin
Make sure you take any opportunity that comes your way to get involved, no matter how minor it might be. Such opportunities will connect you to a network of people, which will open more doors for you down the road. Also, never be afraid to ask questions...the more you know, the better you will be. - Nika Zolfaghari
Avoid missing classes, whether it is a lecture, tutorial, or a laboratory session. You will learn the most during these times. Also, make friends amongst your peers and put in the effort to build and cultivate those relationships. - Allan Ledesma
Be realistic and keep your eye on the goal. University is very different than high school, and first year is a big adjustment. Its important to not let small mishaps discourage you from pursuing your dream. But at the same time, know your limits and dont have unrealistic expectations of yourself, because that in itself can crush your motivation. - Shira Melody Spitzer
GPA does matter! When it comes to finding good paying jobs and post graduate studies (i.e. Masters) then it is extremely necessary to have a high GPA. Be involved in extracurricular activities and leadership positions. Employers want people who can handle multiple things at the same time. If you want to gain intangible skills (Leadership, Communication etc) then extracurricular activities will teach you that! Also theres perks of attending conferences and competitions outside school with your travel costs taken care of. Employers value intangible skills more than academics! - Rahim Jumani
