Check out the following resources: http://www.mcgill.ca/careers4engineers/students/explore-careers/career-research http://www.mcgill.ca/study/2014- 2015/faculties/engineering/undergraduate/ug_eng_acad_programs http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/future-students/undergraduate-programs FACC 100 Introduction to the Engineering Profession Speak to older students; ask them about their major

4. The Major Application Form The Link to the online GEP Major Application will be sent to your McGill email on March 20, 2015. Link: https://surveys.mcgill.ca/limesurvey/index.php?sid=85438&lang=en The application must be completed by: April 10, 2015. Decisions will be made by May 29, 2015. You must rank your preferences in order of major with 1 being your 1st choice, 2 your 2nd choice and so on. You must rank all 8 majors. Failure to do so may result in your assignment to an engineering major outside of your preference list.

5. Important Registration for U1 students (you) will open before you are emailed your Major. You will be able to register only for common courses (i.e. MATH 262 & 263, CCOM 206, FACC 300, COMP 208, etc.). Once you have been placed in your Major (May 29th) you will be able to register for the rest of your courses.

You don t need to worry about other courses as you will have an advisor in your new academic department who will assist you if courses are full.
