WHAT GRADS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT...
LAB EXPERIENCES:
``Acadia's second year design class was definitely one of my favorites.
It gave me an opportunity to work with a team and apply our textbook knowledge in a real and innovative way in order to build a functional prototype. My team took this class a step further and entered our vertical axis tidal turbine project into the ACSBE innovative design competition held at Acadia every year. For the competition we were required to write a technical report and present the project to industry professionals. Using the skills we learned in our engineering courses we placed first in the competition and split the cash prize between the four group members. The design course is great just by itself, but the opportunity to take it this step further is what sets Acadia's engineering program apart."

THE TRANSFER TO A LARGER UNIVERSITY:
"I simply wish to inform you folks at Acadia that we Acadia students seem to be well prepared for the transition to Dalhousie Eng."
- Nathan Ward (Civil at Dal) 2011 Acadia Grad
``By the way, we Acadia students (especially those of us in Civil) are doing quite well in our classes. You and the other professors prepared us very well! And I still use that concept from Statics of assuming all members are in tension throughout the analysis, and if the answer is negative then they are in compression haha.``
- Jason Hockley (Civil at Dal) 2010 Acadia Grad
``Acadia students shine very quickly in class!``
- Mohamad Jaafar (Electrical at Dal) 2010 Acadia Grad
``I had a great experience at Acadia and was well prepared for the transition to Dalhousie."
- Alex Smith (Mechanical at Dal) 2009 Acadia Grad
``Everyone misses Acadia. Everyone misses the small class sizes and the Acadia campus. Our group of students from Acadia still hangs out and studies together."
- Jennifer Gough (Mechanical at Dal) 2009 Acadia Grad
