Drew Hamilton

I am a highly motivated and organized engineering student. My program, Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering, has trained me in several engineering disciplines, such as electrical, mechanical, environmental, and systems. Throughout my studies, I have worked as a business and engineering teaching assistant for several courses. I have also completed a 16-month co-op placement at Envari Energy Solutions as a streetlight engineering student. These experiences, often superimposed with one another, have moulded me into a resilient individual with strong problem-solving capabilities, clear communication skills, and exceptional time management.
