Bioengineering uses living systems as an inspiration and tool to design and create. It is a rapidly growing discipline covering a range of topics like materials science and tissue engineering, biomedical devices and instrumentation, molecular and cellular engineering, as well as environmental engineering.
Chemical engineers design the processes and systems required to scale something a chemist produces in the lab (like plastics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals) into mass manufacturable products.
Civil engineers design and construct important public infrastructure, like bridges, roads and sewage systems. This program will provide you with foundational knowledge in civil engineering, including energy conservation, waste and water management, infrastructure restoration and public safety.
Computer engineering is where computer science and electrical engineering meet. Computer engineers design, build and debug the hardware required to run all kinds of computers — from phones, airplanes and communications networks to medical devices.
Electrical Engineers are experts in developing, testing and solving problems within electrical systems. McGill’s Major in Electrical Engineering offers a broad understanding of key principles in rapidly advancing fields like computer technology, micro-electronics, automation and robotics, telecommunications, and power systems.
Materials engineers design processes and develop technology to create new materials, like super-strong titanium alloys for spacecrafts and artificial bone implants for medical patients. The recycling industry also relies heavily on materials engineers to discover new ways of using recycled materials.
Mechanical engineers are involved in the conception, design, implementation and operation of a variety of mechanical systems, from bicycles and space shuttles to espresso machines. This program will help you gain expertise that can be used in aerospace, energy, manufacturing, machinery and transportation.
Mining is the business, science and engineering of creating a profitable mining operation. Mining engineers design, develop and implement the processes and technologies for the extraction of minerals from the earth in a safe way while minimizing the impact on the environment.
Software engineers design, develop and test the software programs that apply computer technology to everyday processes. Things as fundamental to our daily lives as downloading e-mails or scanning barcodes at the grocery store would not be possible without software engineers. The needs and opportunities are endless.
