About Us
The Engineering Peer Helpers support you by helping develop and improve problem-solving skills, and other academic skills, such as time management and exam preparation. Some examples of past workshops and services the Engineering Peers provide are core engineering courses review sessions, problem-solving support, programming help (C, Java, Python), and specialized workshops for Matlab, Excel, and SoildWorks. In addition, the Engineering Peers also offer one-on-one sessions to help with balancing a heavy workload and studying efficiently.

Current Engineering Peer Helpers
Maya Shapiro (She/Her)
Program: Engineering Systems & Computing
EPH Semester: 2
Favourite Course: Differential Equations (MATH*2270)
Hi! I’m a second year student in Engineering Systems and Computing (co-op). Being a peer helper has been an awesome opportunity to get involved and support students who are seeking some advice and guidance. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports and hanging out with my dog! Can’t wait to meet you all this semester!
Nikola Mutlak (He/Him)
Program: Engineering Systems & Computing
EPH Semester: 2
Favourite Course: Digital System Design (ENGG*2410)
Hey Everyone, My name is Nikola and I’m in my second year of Systems Design and Computing Engineering. As a commuter I had a tough time managing my time and creating a balanced life during my first year until I meet the peer helpers. Now I’m glad it’s my opportunity to make the lives of our future engineers just a little bit better. Excited to see you all.
Sasha Paquette (She/Her)
Program: Biological Engineering (Co-op)
EPH Semester: 2
Favourite Course: Engineering Systems Analysis (ENGG*2400)
Hi Everyone! I'm Sasha Paquette, a second-year student in Biological Engineering Co-op. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, I'm a mountain lover, though Ontario is starting to grow on me. I'm passionate about food and agricultural innovation and always eager to learn. Happy to support my fellow engineering peers however I can. Let's dive into some productive studying!
Ethan Muir (He/Him)
Program: Computer Engineering (Co-op)
EPH Semester: 2
Favourite Course: Embedded Reconfigurable Computing Systems (ENGG*3050)
Hey Everyone! My name's Ethan and I'm in my fourth year of Computer Engineering in the Co-op program. Being a peer helper was a no brainer for me as I enjoy helping others who are experiencing some of the same struggles that we all did in the early years of engineering. When I'm not cramming for a midterm, I love to skateboard, snowboard, rock climb, and play the drums. I look forward to meeting you in all peer helper related events!

Samantha Dekart (She/Her)
Program: Biological Engineering EPH Semester: 4 Hello! My name is Samantha Dekart, but I prefer to just go by Sam. I'm in my fifth year at Guelph studying Biological Engineering Co-op. I'm also pursuing a minor in Food Engineering because through my co-op placements, I discovered that I find food science and industrial food processing fascinating. My favourite course is bioreactor design. I enjoy understanding, improving, and designing processes involving biological materials to make valuable products. Outside of school, I enjoy running, playing intramural volleyball, traveling, and spending time with friends. I'm eager to meet you all and to help you succeed this semester! |
Caleb Fretz (He/Him)
Program: Biological Engineering EPH Semester: 4 Hello! My name is Caleb Fretz and I am in my fifth year of Biological Engineering Co-op. During my free time, I love staying active and making new connections through intramural sports. I am excited to meet all of you at our upcoming Engineering Peer Helper events and study sessions. All the best in your studies |
Alyson Moylan (She/Her)
Program: Biomedical Engineering (Co-op) EPH Semester: 4 Favourite Course: Biomechanics (ENGG*3150) Hi UofG friends! My name is Alyson, and I am thrilled to be a part of the engineering peer helper program! I believe that it is important for students to feel supported by the engineering community. My favourite course is biomechanics. I find the content interesting and enjoy studying human movements in the lab! Around campus, I spend my time studying in bright spaces, enjoying trivia nights at the Brass Taps campus pub, or playing volleyball intramurals in the AC. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything or would just like to say hi! |
