Mechanical Engineering 2024
General/Flex Option
A little bit about me…
Hi, I’m Illya! I’m in my final year of mechanical engineering and looking forward to graduation. Outside of classes, I love the outdoors, staying physical, and watching movies.
I wish I had known before I came…
Mechanical engineering isn’t just about designing cogs and gears!
I chose mechanical engineering because…
I love things that move! Dynamic systems > static systems.
Mechanical engineering at UBC in one word…
Doozy
What I like best about my program…
The community! The faculty, students, and staff are what make the program unique.
Outside of the classroom, I am involved with…
Active matter research at the UBC Soft Matter Group.
Favourite moment/memory so far…
Designing and building a gearbox on SUBC, UBC’s submarine design team!
