Success Stories
Our students are our greatest success. Read their stories here:
Nimesh Bahl
Nimesh says the uniqueness of McMaster's MEEI program, along with the unfailing support he received from the program's faculty and support staff during his education, far surpassed his expectations.
Jesika Briones
"From dealing with suppliers and customers to networking with CEOs and venture capitalists, you get it all in McMaster's MEEI program," smiles Jesika. She entered with a belief that she knew where she was headed and what she would gain by the time she graduated, but "the program has far surpassed my expectations."
Brooke Gordon
MEEI program instructors and mentors work with the mindset that each graduate program participant is an entrepreneur, rather than the idea they're enrolled to become one. And the learning experiences complement this approach.
Omar Lalani
Students and faculty agree mentorship is imperative to student success during and after the program. Working alongside experienced and respected professionals, Omar was able to learn while he worked with input, support, and knowledge at his fingertips. It was like having some of the world's most qualified consultants and scholars to guide him away from the pitfalls and toward a successful outcome.
Alena Morozova
The MEEI experience wildly surpassed Alena's expectations. "The program enabled us to attend regional, national and international exhibitions, workshops and conferences. We met and networked with established business people, technical mentors, venture capitalists and potential investors. We were exposed to many of the current challenges of working within a large organization; how to enhance team building, and how to excel and achieve our goals."
Cristian Nunez
The MEEI program has enabled him to better focus and work diligently to increase his skill set. But he has since also felt the need to help other engineers succeed as entrepreneurs in his native country. And with McMaster University's support and assistance, Cristian has played an important role in opening doors and opportunities where few or none existed before.
Pankaj Sood
"I had some great working experience but the program taught me how to analyze and recognize an opportunity and take calculated risks. I started my own business before, but basically I just jumped in head first." Now, Pankaj has the skills and tools to properly plan and manage his projects and his business, with a disciplined approach he feels confident using.
Aizhan Tursunbayeva
Aizhan's opinion of the program echoes the comments of so many of its graduates. "Coming from a distant and culturally-different country can be frightening and worrisome. And yet all of the people associated with McMaster's MEEI program made me feel welcome and very much at home here in Canada."
