Student experience

Hear it from聽Shubanker,聽a Bioresource Engineering (BREE) student at 91社区:

"My name is Shubanker and I consider myself very fortunate to be a聽Bioresource Engineering聽(BREE) student here at 91社区鈥檚 Macdonald Campus. The program goes beyond teaching you the engineering fundamentals and trains you to apply your skills in solving pressing global issues.聽聽In BREE the professors are very accessible and always willing to help students! I have been able to get hands-on research experience in soil contamination and pollution, and to contribute to the larger campus effort in making agriculture more sustainable. Representing Mac Campus at the Quebec Engineering and the Canadian Engineering Competitions were some of my favourite university experiences. Being a Macdonald Campus student feels like being part of a large family. The community takes you in and helps you create lifetime friendships!".
