Why MEEi?

The thought of going for a masters 14 year after obtaining a B.Sc. and married to a wonderful husband with 3 lovely children had to be for a great program with lots of substance. I felt so certain MEEI was where to be the moment the McMaster University's Engineering Entrepreneurship & Innovation website came up on the search engine after 2 months of web research on a program that encourage and nurtures new idea/innovation till commercialization. Reading through the brief content on the core courses got me applying for admission immediately.

With 2 terms done in the program, It sure was a wise decision flying all the way from Africa to North Amenrica for MEEI. The lecturers teaches and mentors with passion. The support staff sure knows how to give you a soft and smooth landing from anywhere in the world. They sure make life easy.

MEEI is a great program with lots of practicality and exposure to the real business world. The program sponsors lots of training, workshops, trade shows, you name it. It has been so much fun and definitely NOT burdensome.
