Faculty of Engineering
| Description: | Engineers are problem solvers, constantly trying to find better ways to do things, whether designing a better laptop, making safer cars, finding ways to harness wind energy - even attempting to make a concrete canoe float. As an engineering student, you'll think both analytically and creatively. You'll work in student teams and learn to communicate effectively and be prepared for a career in any number of well-paying, challenging fields. |

| Program options: | Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or Concurrent Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science (BEng/BSc) or Concurrent Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Arts (BEng/BA) Co-op Program Notes: Accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers Chemical Engineering prepares students for a variety of careers in the chemical and process industries. Civil Engineering encompasses the planning, design, construction management and maintenance of infrastructure and support systems for communities. Electrical Engineering involves using electrical and electromagnetic signals for the generation, transmission, processing, storage, conversion and control of information and energy. Environmental Engineering teaches multidisciplinary approaches to environment-based design, waste management, water and soil quality, energy conservation and renewables, and air quality. Industrial Engineering students focus on the design of styles to improve productivity and effectiveness. Materials Engineering is the study of products used for building and manufacturing. Mechanical Engineering students learn how parts, machines or systems work and how to design and analyse them. Mineral Resource Engineering relates to the discovery, extraction and processing of minerals from the Earth. |
