Other than that I have walked into a smaller consulting company to drop off my resume. I was told from a recruiter that walk-ins to smaller companies might be more beneficial compared to large companies. I didn't really get any contacts though...
I've contacted a professor from UBC as well.
To be honest I really really suck and hate networking... but I am trying.

Awesome job for getting started.
Now, watch this video:
Next, understand that your career progression depends on your ability to network and make people like you. Everyone starts somewhere so you might as learn now.
You can choose to adapt or flounder. I've worked with a lot of engineering companies and the people at the top aren't necessarily there because of their technical abilities.
