University of Ottawa Conduct Two Information Sessions

 

Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa are partnering with All Saints Catholic High School and École Polyvalente Le Carrefour to host two information sessions designed to encourage high school students to participate in the Engineering Summer School and to develop a learning relationship between the University and high school education.

The first information session was conducted on May 15, 2007 at École Polyvalente Le Carrefour in cooperation with Nathalie Pilon, Career Counselor and Martin David, Science Teacher.

On June 1, 1007, the second information session will be conducted at All Saints Catholic High School.

in cooperation with Liana Krauthaker, Coordinator of Cooperative Education.

The organizers are targeting Grade 11 and Grade 12 because those students are making critical decisions about their future studies—and knowledge is necessary for any future post-secondary science and engineering programs.

 

During the session, teachers are invited to participate. This will help teachers assist their students in making informed decisions about their future.

 

In the coming months, students from the two partner schools as well as other schools in Ottawa region will have the chance to attend a 5-day learning session at the Faculty of Engineering and work in the RobotLab, electronics lab, and manufacturing lab.
