ESSCO'S PEO-SC 2024 @ UWATERLOO
What is PEO-SC
The 2024 Professional Engineers of Ontario Student Conference (PEO-SC) is proudly hosted by the University of Waterloo over the weekend of October 4th to 6th 2024. With the theme of “From Classroom to Career: Tools for Transition”, this conference aims to bridge the gap between students finishing their engineering degree and then entering the workforce and industry. The learnings primarily focus around professional licensure and the P.Eng. designation, and how that is valuable to soon to be engineers.
