Chemical engineers combine chemistry, biology, math and design to solve global challenges and create innovative processes and products. As one of the top chemical engineering programs in Canada, U of T Engineering is at the forefront of research to develop renewable fuels, use biotechnology to clean up pollution, manufacture products sustainably, create artificial organs, and fortify foods to address malnutrition. You’ll put theory to practice in innovative courses and laboratories, including the unique Unit Operations Lab, filled with large-scale industrial equipment and a two-storey distillation column.
Civil engineering focuses on the design, infrastructure and sustainability of the structures and systems that support our daily lives, from the deepest tunnels to the tallest buildings. You will learn from global experts in some of the world’s most advanced and unique facilities. Your courses in applied structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, geology and engineering ecology will prepare you to create solutions that will directly impact quality of life, from designing disaster-resistant structures to building systems that supply clean water to remote communities.
No other undergraduate degree offers students the opportunity to work in as many fields as electrical and computer engineering. With a degree in ECE you can work in aerospace engineering, information technology, biomedical engineering, finance and banking, the communications sector, the computer industry, the energy sector and many more. Our graduates also go into law, medicine, teaching, and research. A significant number start their own companies.
Engineering science is an interdisciplinary field bridging the gap between scientific theory and engineering applications. It emphasizes the integration of mathematical, scientific, engineering and arts principles. Engineering scientists have the skills to conduct scientific research and use the results to develop commercial applications. Their cross-disciplinary and team work training give them a unique perspective and problem-solving approach that help them tackle tough engineering challenges.
Materials engineers focus on improving what things are made of and how they are made. New materials enable better performance and sustainable technologies.
Our undergraduate students learn the principles of their disciplines by attending courses taught by our world-renowned faculty and gain real-world experience working with companies and organizations related to their fields of interest. The programs consist of four years of coursework during which time the students complete 600 hours of practical training. Many students choose to spend an additional year taking part in the optional Professional Experience Year program, usually between their third and fourth years of study. Graduates of our undergraduate programs receive a Bachelor of Applied Science degree.
Mineral engineering is the applied science of our interaction with the planet. What sets the Lassonde Mineral Engineering program apart is our broad approach to the discipline. Here, you’ll learn mineral exploration, mine design and management, mineral processing and mining finance from researchers at the Lassonde Institute of Mining, as well as industry professionals. Your degree will give you the expertise to lead the way in making mining more sustainable, safe and productive.
