Want a personal tour of Guelph Engineering? One of the great things about Guelph Engineering - you are not a number! You will have a number, but you are so much more. We think the greatest way to showcase this is to offer a guided one on one tour of the School of Engineering. The one on one tour is an additional tour beyond the general campus tour.
