Chemical Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Chemical engineering is at the intersection of many disciplines, linking knowledge of basic and applied sciences, economics, and health and safety. Chemical engineering graduates use a series of operations to sustainably process raw natural materials into finished products. They work in any number of industries and during their careers, they may face a variety of challenges, such as optimizing processes and monitoring pollution, converting waste materials into renewable energy, processing foods and drugs, and manufacturing new materials.

Civil Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Civil engineers design the infrastructure on which their communities depend, such as buildings and their foundations, bridges, canals, dams, transportation facilities, municipal sewer and water networks, and wastewater and solid waste treatment systems.

Computer Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Building on a solid foundation of traditional engineering skills, this program covers many different aspects of computer software and hardware, and allows for more specialized studies in microprocessorbased systems, computer architecture, programming concepts, real-time operating systems, software engineering and robotics. This program provides multiple paths to diverse careers.

Computer Science

Faculty of Computer Science

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Computer science combines the study of computation and information processing fundamentals with their application in the world around us. Computer scientists build fast, reliable, scalable and secure software systems to organize and analyze information. The honours curriculum comprises advanced topics in databases, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, security, distributed computing and algorithm design, culminating in an honours project. This program teaches graduates how to use their creative and innovative talents to conceive, design and implement software systems.

Data Science

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Data Science is the study, application, and development of methods to learn from this data. These are essential to understand, predict, and make improvements in management strategies, products, services, advertising campaigns, public health and safety, and many other areas. These methods combine elements of mathematics, computer science and statistics.

Electrical Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Electrical engineering is at the heart of today’s exciting advances in technology. With five technical specializations—communications, systems, electronics, microwave and photonic, and power and sustainable energy—our curriculum will enable you to influence how the world’s communities communicate, generate sustainable energy and cure diseases. As an electrical engineer, you will work with other engineers or scientists on emerging technologies.

Mechanical Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Mechanical engineers apply the fundamentals of science and math to create practical, useful solutions for a wide range of mechanical, thermal and biomedical systems and devices, from computer parts to power plants, from manufacturing systems to spacecraft.

Physics and Electrical Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Discover the fundamental laws of nature and then apply this knowledge to design breakthrough technologies that will transform our society. While physics probes big questions ranging from the origin of the universe to the workings of the quantum world, electrical engineering underlies the technologies that are ubiquitous to our modern world, from power generation to the computer chip.

Software Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Website: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/

Software engineering is a CO-OP only program that emphasizes innovation and teamwork to develop practical, solution-driven thinking. During their fourth-year project, students in this program can form teams and leverage their work experience to create real applications; some students even start their own companies. They learn how to apply engineering principles—including rapid prototyping, requirements analysis, system modelling, design, implementation, testing and project management—to develop software.
