Here is what Tenli Gregory says about Engineering at VIU:

Why did you choose VIU to begin your Engineering studies? 

I chose VIU because of its beautiful location which fortunately is closer to my home. I also wanted my first year to be a transitional step from high school to university and I am very pleased with my decision!

How do you feel about being a female engineering student?

When someone asks what I'm studying most people seem surprised to hear me say engineering. I wasn't sure what kind of reactions I would get from my classmates or teachers being one of only three girls in the engineering program this year. I am happy to say that I am not treated differently just because I'm a girl and I feel like I fit right in with my classmates and professors.
