I’m a Lebanese student planning to apply to Concordia for Mechanical Engineering, and I have a question about the Extended Credit Program (ECP).
Do all students admitted to ECP have to complete the extra ECP credits, or is it possible to have some or all of them waived?
For example, if I’m coming from the Lebanese education system, can any of my high school courses be recognized, or does everyone admitted to ECP have to complete all of the additional credits?
If anyone from Lebanon or anyone who has gone through ECP could share their experience, I’d really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,
I’m a 16-year-old student from Lebanon, and i am aming at studying Mechanical Engineering at Concordia University.
I do well academically, especially in the science subjects, and I’m working hard to make my application as strong as possible.
Outside of school, I’m building an engineering portfolio that will include:
Autodesk Inventor CAD projects
Engineering drawings and calculations
A buggy design project
Manufacturing experience through my father’s work
Possibly tutoring and other engineering-related extracurricular activities
My uncle lives near Montreal, so I’d likely stay with him, which would help reduce my living expenses. My biggest concern is affording the tuition.
I’d really appreciate hearing from current students or anyone who has received scholarships:
How competitive are scholarships for international students?
Do they mostly look at grades, or do projects and portfolios make a difference?
Roughly how much financial aid did you receive, if you don’t mind sharing?
If you could go back, what would you do differently to improve your chances?
I’m looking for honest advice and real experiences, even if the answer isn’t what I want to hear. Thanks!

I have an aurora r9 2080super 32gb ram intel core i7 and 2T storage ,he is 6yo and starting to lag and cause problems,if i want to change some parts or maybe clean it how can i know wich is cause the problem.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been learning Autodesk Inventor and recently started using Joints. Until now, I’ve mostly been assembling parts using Constraints (Mate, Flush, Insert, Angle, etc.).
I’m a bit confused about the difference between the two.
What is the main difference between Constraints and Joints?
I’d really appreciate a simple explanation and any real-world examples from your workflow. Thanks!
