Congratulations. Now that you have accepted your offer of admission to McMaster Engineering, ranked as one of the world’s top engineering schools, you have the opportunity to get a head start on your university career this summer with EMBER, which stands for Engineering Mentorship & Bridging Education Resources.
Your talent, passion and ambition that glow like an ember now have a home at McMaster Engineering to grow into a powerful fire.
EMBER is a new two-week virtual preparation program that will prepare you academically and socially for the Fall at McMaster Engineering. It will give you prep courses in math, chemistry and physics as well as the mentorship you need to prepare you for academic and social success in your first year.
You can choose one, two or all three of these prep courses taught by a supportive team of engineering professors and upper-year students with the depth of knowledge to help you succeed in your first year in the Engineering, Bachelor of Technology, Computer Science or Integrated Biomedical and Health Sciences programs.
EMBER also goes beyond preparing you for a degree. Through virtual events hosted by our clubs and teams as well as faculty, it will give you a glimpse into the experiences that will help you become global-ready and socially aware citizens who will change the world.
We’re living during an unprecedented time. We know your last year of high school has been met with many challenges that leave you with many questions about year ahead at McMaster. This program is designed to ease your worries. It will support you, help make the transition to university a smooth one and will welcome you a little early to the Fireball Family.
Sincerely, Ishwar Puri,
Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, McMaster University
