“The best part of my program was definitely the fact that I got to complete an honours thesis. I did it in the Trent Environmental Wind Tunnel and I got a lot of hands-on experience working in the wind tunnel and actually turned into a research assistant job for me in the summer. It was really awesome that I got that opportunity and then got a continuing opportunity after!”
