Which program is best for ai agent engineering???
Hi everyone, I’m deciding between three offers and would love some advice from people in tech:
- University of Waterloo Math
- University of Waterloo Management Engineering
- University of Toronto(St. George)Computer Science
My long-term goal is to work in AI, specifically on the application/engineering side of AI agents (agent development, LLM apps, rather than core model research.
From what I understand:
- UofT CS seems strongest academically in CS/AI and has strong brand/research.
- Waterloo has the co-op advantage and strong startup/industry pipeline.
- UW Math seems flexible but less directly CS-focused.
- UW Management Engineering seems more product/systems/optimization-oriented.
Given my goal of becoming strong in agent development / AI engineering, which program would you choose and why?
Would also appreciate thoughts on:
- recruiting for AI/software internships
- startups ecosystem/network
- flexibility to pivot if AI changes a lot in the next few years
Thanks!
