Robust Engineering is created by a University of Waterloo graduate and brilliant undergrad students!
"My co-op term at Robust Engineering provided invaluable insight and experience I never expected to gain as a first-year student. Working on real-world projects challenged and broadened my perspective on civil engineering as a whole. I had the opportunity to see how complex tasks are broken down, collaborate with University of Waterloo alumni, and contribute meaningfully to both my academic and professional development!" ~ Yao Xiao
"Working at Robust Engineering was the best co-op experience I had throughout my entire co-op terms. It was an incredibly rewarding opportunity where I contributed to real-world projects and learned tools that significantly improved my work efficiency and technical skills. I had an exceptional mentor who was both passionate and supportive, always embracing new technologies to enhance productivity. The encouraging environment and strong teamwork at Robust Engineering made it the ideal place for me to grow as an aspiring engineer!" ~ Jeemin HongΒ
