PEY helps you understand the practical side of your studies, gives you insight into your own interests and helps you develop your skills as an engineer. You’ll be treated as a professional, responsible for managing diverse teams and spearheading key projects. The U of T Engineering brand carries a lot of weight with employers. Organizations like Messier-Dowty Inc., Ontario Power Generation, Procter & Gamble, Environment Canada, Apple, and CIBC routinely hire PEY students, as do start-ups, small to medium size companies. Notably, amongst the start-up community are Uken Games, Colibri Technologies Inc., and Wattpad. Your PEY experience can also take you abroad, with approximately 50–60 international internships taking place each year at companies like the Agfa-Gevaert Group in Belgium, Microsemi Corporation in the United States, Orbis Investment Management Limited in Bermuda, the Nordex Group in Germany and IDOM in Spain.
