多大工程学院文书面试真题披露,我们如何见招拆招?
纵观多个世界大学排名,多伦多大学的工程学院傲居所有加拿大大学之首;放眼北美地区,多大工程也是位列TOP10的一流专业。
根据不同学生的不同兴趣与职业规划,多大工程学院为大一新生设置了以下3种专业:
1. Core Programs ,如果学生有明确的申请专业意向,可以直接申请以下8大核心专业:
-
Chemical Engineering
-
Civil Engineering
-
Computer Engineering
-
Electrical Engineering
-
Industrial Engineering
-
Materials Engineering
-
Mechanical Engineering
-
Mineral Engineering
3.Engineering Science 工程科学
多大工程学院的工程科学专业(Engineering Science)是享有世界声誉的工程专业之一,也是加拿大最难进的工程专业。
相比较于之前的Core 8,多大的工程科学专业(Engineering Science)在学科要求上更高,不仅涉及工程还包含纯科学课程。
与Core 8的1+3模式不同,Engineering Science采取的是2+2的模式。即大一和大二是基础课程阶段,涉及工程科学,纯科学和数学学科。
到大三和大四才细分具体的专业方向,可从以下8大专业中任选其一:
同时,多伦多大学工程学院还为已经完成大三学业的学生提供12至16个月的全职实习机会,被称为职业体验年Professional Experience Year(PEY)。
PEY可以说是加拿大大学中薪资报酬最高的本科实习项目了,平均实习年收入有$47000。每年PEY提供给学生将近1000多个职位。70%的工学院学生都会选择PEY实习,同时60%参加PEY实习的工学院学生会在毕业以前获得工作Offer。
另外,多大的企业家孵化中心(The Entrepreneurship Hatchery)提供多学科创意孵化,导师与商业领 袖可以助力学生实现梦想;以及工程领导力教育中心(The Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering)会为学生提供多元化的领导力课程和证书项目。
怎么样?领略过多大工程学院的教育、科研实力,是不是有种心动的感觉?
我们知道申请多大,文书面试是必不可少的环节。那申请多大工程学院文书面试的题型又是怎样的呢?
下面,一起来看多大工程学院近几年的文书面试真题:
Extra-curricular Activity 文书:
Reflecting on the activities that you have described above, what qualities do you believe that you have developed through your participation in these activities? How do you think they may have helped to prepare you for U of T Engineering? (250 words or less).
回顾上面你所提到的活动经历,你认为在这些活动经历中你提升了哪些品质或技能?你认为这些经历将如何帮助你准备在多大工程的学习和生活?(最多250字)
Personal Profile 文书+面试:
The Personal Profile consists of three questions you will answer online. It will consist of video and written responses. We are interested in your reasoning skills and your thought process. We also want to get to know you as a person! Please keep in mind: there are no right or wrong answers.
Question 1: You will have 10 minutes to prepare and type a 250-word written response.
Question 2: You will record a two-minute video response.
Question 3: You will record a three-minute video response.
personal profile包含3个问题:一篇written response和两个video responses.
记住,招生官感兴趣的是你的逻辑思维能力和思考的过程,同样,他们希望通过文书对你更深入的了解。
所以牢记:你的回答没有绝对的对错。
真题:
Imagine that you are preparing for a midterm exam in a high school course. You have spent many hours studying, but are having a hard time remembering the material. Your friend Amanda says you should ask your classmates for advice. Your friend Bilal says that you should hire a tutor to help you. Your friend Carol says you should keep studying. What would you do and why would that work best for you?
假设你为准备一个大家都要准备的重要考试已经复习很多天了,但还是有很多知识点记不住,这时a同学建议你去找老师,而b同学建议如果可能的话,找一些历年的真题,不断去做,然后将错误的内容重点做,c同学建议你只要继续坚持复习这些材料,最后一定是可以记住的。听了他们的建议,你会怎么如何做?
真题:
Please tell us a little bit about yourself and specially what strengths you have, which will help you be successful in the engineering program at the University of Toronto?
请简单介绍一下自己,你有什么优点和特殊之处能帮助你成功学习多大的工程专业?
真题:
One hundred people are on one side of a river and there is one boat can carry up to 500kg. You are responsible for transporting the 100 people to the other side of the river as fast as possible. What do you think are the THREE most important pieces of information you would need to find out. How would you use these to find a solution to this problem?
有100个人在河的一侧, 有一条船只能承重500千克。你需要尽快将这100个人运送到河的对岸。你觉得你需要的最重要的三个信息是什么?你会如何利用这三个信息来解决这一问题?
通过以上对近几年多大工程学院文书面试真题的回顾,我们发现其Personal profile面试题目有以下特点:
另一类是自我介绍,在2分钟时间内,你需要向招生官清楚说明你是谁,你从哪里来以及你有哪些优势可能会对学习工科产生的积极影响。
这两个问题,对于多次参加过雅思考试的同学而言一般不会太难。
第三题基本上是解决实际问题的开放性问题:
这道题的出题角度比较新颖,每一道题几乎都是学生们没有接触过的,所以答题的时候难免会紧张。该题目考察的不只是学生的数学计算能力,还有逻辑思维能力的运用与表达,还有就是对生活常识的掌握。
总而言之,这些问题本身是没有标准答案的,所以大家最好不要太拘泥于答案的对错。
