Hello,

Does anyone have anything to say about UofC's engineering program? The time is nearing for me to pick a school, and the most convienient one would be the University of Calgary.

Anyone have an oppinion on whether or not they are a good school for civil engineering/mechanical engineering?

My cousin graduated from the University of Calgary in Civil (construction) Engineering and is a BIG man in the Construction Consulting Firm, Mississauga, Ontario.
