As an aerospace engineer, your career options are as vast as the universe. If transportation is your passion, you’ll graduate with the knowledge you need to design the latest vehicles to carry us across water, land, sky or space. You’ll decide how fast we’ll travel, how safe and cost-effective transit can become, and just how far the limits can be pushed. You can also apply your skills outside of the field in careers such as teaching, business and renewable energy.
In the Department of Aerospace Engineering, our students receive training from renowned, award-winning professors and have access to opportunities with the Canadian Space Agency, Bombardier, Transport Canada and more.

The Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science (FEAS) through the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering offers the BEng in Biomedical Engineering four-year degree program. The Bachelor of Engineering, Biomedical Engineering program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Our Biomedical Engineering program aims to take advantage of the strategic location of Ryerson University in proximity to Toronto's Discovery District and seven world-class hospitals.
The Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering in collaboration with the Departments of Aerospace Engineering, Biology, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Industrial and Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics at Ryerson University will deliver the curriculum.
According to the working definition of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), biomedical engineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behaviour, and health. It advances fundamental concepts, creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ system levels, and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease; for patient rehabilitation; and for improving health.
As a chemical engineer, you can choose your own adventure. An incredibly versatile discipline that combines engineering principles and the sciences of chemistry, biology and physics, chemical engineers create everything from cleaner water and better-tasting food, to more powerful silicon microchips, beauty products, and medicines. The career possibilities are truly endless, with many chemical engineers also going on to leadership roles in business and education, or to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and goals for environmental sustainability.
In the Department of Chemical Engineering, our students receive training from renowned, award-winning professors. Our undergraduates have the opportunity to join teams taking prizes at water treatment and chemical plant design competitions, and gain invaluable work experience through our mandatory co-operative program. Our graduate students work on innovative research that accelerates their careers and changes lives—from engineering cartilage tissue to designing cancer-fighting polymers.
As a civil engineer, you will play a crucial role in society. From designing and managing systems for flood defence and waste management, as well as bridges, airports, buildings and more, you will solve environmental and urbanization challenges, and make our communities more comfortable and safe. The career possibilities are vast, with many civil engineers going on to lead or consult on structural, environmental and transportation projects, or to pursue opportunities in the construction and mining industries.
In the Department of Civil Engineering, our students receive training from renowned, award-winning professors. Our undergraduates have the opportunity to join student competition teams and gain invaluable work experience through our optional co-operative internship program. Our graduate students work on innovative research that accelerates their careers and changes lives, including waste-to-energy bioconversion and earthquake hazard mitigation.
The Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering offers highly structured programs that emphasize not only the theoretical fundamentals but also the practical aspects of the engineering profession. The curriculum in the first two years of the Computer Engineering and the Electrical Engineering programs are identical. The first-year courses will provide the students with grounding in engineering science fundamentals such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and the theory of electric circuits. The second year of the program introduces discrete mathematics, data structures and engineering algorithms, and electrical engineering core subjects such as analog and digital electronic circuits and systems. In the third year, students will further study computer architecture, microcomputer systems, object-oriented analysis and design, digital electronics, communication systems and control theory.
In the final year of the program, students will take courses in data communications, digital systems engineering, real-time operating systems, VLSI design and numerical techniques. The fourth year curriculum also allows students further specialization in a variety of subject areas through an extensive technical electives list. During this final year of the program all students must complete a mandatory group design project. The key objective of the Design Project is to encourage students to plan, design and implement their project while developing the skills to make key decisions independently.
Ryerson University's Computer Science program is meeting the high demand for qualified candidates in a variety of computer scientist roles. Our program stands out in its careful blending of academic theory and applied, hands-on practice.
Students of the regular, four-year program will graduate with an honours undergraduate degree.
The first-year courses of the Electrical Engineering program will provide the students with grounding in engineering science fundamentals such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and the theory of electric circuits. The second year of the program introduces discrete mathematics, data structures and engineering algorithms, and electrical engineering core subjects such as analog and digital electronic circuits and systems. In the third year of the Electrical Engineering program, the emphasis will shift to advanced subjects such as communication systems, electromagnetics, microcomputer systems, electrical devices and systems, and control theory. The fourth year curriculum provides a wide range of technical elective courses. Students can further specialize in Digital Hardware Design, Communication Systems, Signal Processing, Control Systems and Power Systems by selecting appropriate courses in the fourth year of the program. During this final year of the program, all students complete a mandatory group Design Project.
Our Mathematics and Its Applications program provides ample flexibility to choose the direction of your education. Students explore mathematics as a powerful tool to explain diverse phenomena around us, such as the spread of disease, relationship in social media networks, or movements in the stock market
You’ll learn to identify patterns, use logic and solve complex problems. The program provides room to study electives both inside and outside of mathematics, including special options in Computer Science or Economics.
As a mechanical or industrial engineer, you’ll access an in-demand field of robotics, mechanics, facilities design and systems operation, and its connection to people. Whether it’s engines and turbines, biomechanical implants and artificial limbs, or logistics and supply chains, you’ll design and develop cutting-edge technologies that impact society and improve lives and the environment. Your options are limitless, with many mechanical and industrial engineers pursuing rewarding careers in pharmaceuticals, transportation, manufacturing, health care, product design, financial services, government, robotics, urban/industrial infrastructure, operations research and management consulting.
As an undergraduate student in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, you’ll acquire knowledge of machinery, systems design and operation, and technology. With our esteemed faculty, world-class labs and leading co-operative internship program, you’ll have front-row access to the most advanced ideas, technologies and projects in the industry. You’ll gain the multidisciplinary knowledge and problem-solving skills needed to launch a successful career.
