Last year, over 6,300 students applied for 730 first-year positions.
The faculty also offers a number of outreach programs, such as the Aboriginal Access to Engineering program, which has engaged over 20,000 Indigenous youth, and the Tech 카지노 게임 컬렉션n Tinker trailer, a mobile makerspace that travels to schools and events in the region to provide experiential learning for elementary students.
