Academics

The Memorial University Engineering Society is more than just a student leadership group - it's a community dedicated to supporting its members throughout their engineering journey.

From the moment you join, the society provides a wealth of resources designed to enhance your learning experience. This includes access to academic support services, mentorship programs, and opportunities to engage in innovative projects.

Moreover, the society fosters a collaborative environment where students can share ideas, learn from each other, and build lasting relationships. Through various events and activities, students can connect with their peers, network with industry professionals, and gain valuable insights into the engineering field.

Ultimately, the society is committed to helping you succeed, providing the tools, guidance, and support you need to reach your academic and career goals.

Get the most out of your co-op experience

Students from Memorial University's Bachelor of Engineering co-operative program are fortunate to have the opportunity to combine academic and practical education through a series of 4 month work terms. While the Co-op Handbook contains most information, this page is to be used as an additional resource to help you navigate the co-op office's expectations.

How to claim work-terms towards your P.Eng

On behalf of PEGNL, Mark Fewer held an information session on March 15, 2017, to talk about claiming undergraduate work experience towards your Professional License.

Keep a PEGNL Logbook during your work-terms with bi-weekly entries (or at least monthly) between 8-10 lines each, and have a P.Eng (or equivalent) sign off on each entry.
You can claim up to 3 work-terms (a maximum of 12 months) of undergraduate work experience, starting after you complete academic Term 4 in the program. This means you can back-log the fall 2016 work-term, and have a P.Eng (or equivalent) that you worked with sign off on the entries, but it is unnecessary since we still have 3 work terms left.
If the person signing off on your entries is not a P.Eng, PEGNL will determine equivalency by having them submit their resume with your logbook, so make sure you supervisor is aware of this expectation.
Blank logbook pages, and example entries can be found on the PEGNL website. You can print the pages yourself or buy an actual logbook from the PEGNL office downtown. If you do not use their logbook, it is recommended that you at least follow their format.
Not looking to stay in NL for your entire career? Don't worry, your professional license is easily transferable between Canadian provinces.
The quality and type of experience you earn is also assessed, so be aware of PEGNL's definition of acceptable work experience.

For more details, please reference Mark Fewer's presentation, the PEGNL website, or contact Jordan Careen, Director of Co-op at [email protected].

Cahill Engineering One Student Success Centre

There's a reason everyone gets the 'look to your left, look to your right' speech when you join engineering... do not be those guys! The Engineering One Help Centre is a great chance to learn all that course material that you're struggling with. (Pro tip: start trying to actually learn that material, oh, you know, not the night before your big midterm or final... just trust me on this).

Math Help Centres

For those in EO or Naval or maybe those just doing a bitta extra math courses for fun, this is a great opportunity to get help on your assignments and understand your courses.

Chemistry Help Centre / Resource Room

For those in EO or Process, these are located in the Chemistry-Physics building in rooms C 2022 and C 2012 respectively.

The Writing Centre

This is a fantastic resource you can use throughout your entire degree. The Writing Centre is not only useful for your English courses, they can help you with your reports and term papers too. Also, for those work term reports, the staff at the Writing Centre can help you by distance as well.

The Physics Help Centre

This centre is designed specifically for first-year physics students and is staffed by professors, assistants, and physics majors. The staff schedule is posted at the beginning of each semester so students can check when their professor is scheduled to work.

MUNSU Resource Centres

Many of these resource centres were started to help represent minorities on campus. These are amazing places to go if you would like some peer support or information. Currently, there are 7 resource centres supported by the student union:

International Students’ Centre (ISC)
Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender (LBGT-MUN)
Student Parents’ Resource Centre (SPRC)

It operates from 7pm to 12am, Sunday to Thursday, with extended hours during exam periods.

Counselling Centre

Through individualized personal counselling, outpatient psychiatric services, and a wide range of group counselling, professional staff and faculty at the Centre, with the assistance of supervised doctoral residents and practicum students from the various training programs on campus, help students to develop their own unique resources. The Counselling Centre helps students develop their study strategies, support for study problems, and help students learn to apply strategies for managing university-level academic work more effectively.
