WHY UOIT? JOIN ONE OF CANADA’SNEWEST UNIVERSITIES
UOIT’s unique and technology-rich teaching and learning environment challenges students to push the boundaries of innovation and
discovery and prepares them to excel in the global, knowledge-driven
economy of the 21st century. Many of our programs are unique in
Canada.
UOIT students are inspired by a diverse group of world-class faculty
who are dedicated members of the teaching profession and eager
to provide you with opportunities to undertake research projects
from the undergraduate to the graduate level. They understand that hands-on experience gives you an edge when it comes to finding a
job or pursuing graduate studies and research careers. Student faculty
research collaborations are important components of education at
UOIT and this unique one-on-one model is an integral part of your
student experience.
With a full-time enrolment of more than 7,500 and strong growth
anticipated over the next decade, UOIT’s outstanding learning
environment is growing too:
:: UOIT is in the midst of expanding its downtown Oshawa campus
while also adding new classrooms, labs, study areas and state-of-
the-art learning facilities on our north Oshawa campus;
:: The new General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence
(ACE) at our north Oshawa campus, provides faculty, staff, students
and industry partners with access to the first commercial automotive
research, development and innovation centre of its kind in the
world; and
:: The new Energy Research Centre (ERC) at our north Oshawa
campus will open in spring 2011. The ERC will serve as the premier
training ground for future energy scientists and nuclear engineers
while enabling leading-edge research in the development of clean
and green energy and technology.
These are exciting times for UOIT and we look forward to sharing
them with you.
STUDENTS FINDSATISFACTION AT UOIT
In 2009, UOIT was included in the annual, national ranking of
Canadian universities published by Maclean’s magazine for the
first time. UOIT ranked high in the category of services provided to
students, placed first in obtaining Social Sciences and Humanities
grants and fourth in Medical/Science grants.
A North American survey conducted by the National Survey of
Student Engagement (NSSE) demonstrated how UOIT students
ranked us ahead of our peer groups compared to 769 other
post-secondary institutions, pointing in particular to the university’s
state-of-the-art technology, academically challenging programsand collaborations with expert faculty. In the benchmark category
of Level of Academic Challenge, UOIT’s first- and fourth-year scores
placed ahead of the Ontario average, the scores of the U.S. peer
group and the average of the entire NSSE population.
Students are also drawn to UOIT by the overwhelming sense of
community and friendliness on campus.

extensiveLEARNING REINVENTED
You have never experienced education like this before. UOIT’s national
award-winning laptop learning environment allows you to easily connect
with your professors and peers – and puts you one step ahead upon
graduation.
You receive a high-end laptop at the beginning of your studies and
your professors develop sophisticated course content using a powerful,
campus-wide online learning management system. One of the greatest
advantages of this educational approach is that all students, no matter
which faculty or program, have equal access to the same technology,
resources and services – such as smart boards and Turning Point
student remote control clickers. Unique examples include:
:: Video game simulation students use cutting-edge motion-capture
3D technology and have a sound recording studio;
:: Chemistry students use ChemDraw: a 3D software program which
draws molecules; and
:: Students in the nursing program have access to a full-scale critical
care (emergency room) patient simulation lab.
Inside or outside of the classroom, you can make quality computer-
based presentations, conduct research, work electronically on your
own or with other students and have seamless access to all online
resources. An annual fee covers the use of your hardware learning tools, extensive technical support, virus protection, high-speed
Internet, printing services, insurance and a wide-range of program-
specific hardware.
To ensure you receive even more value for your education and greater
return on your investment, all laptops are annually refreshed with
appropriate software and upgraded every two years.
