29 Engineering BSc Degree Programs in Canada

Our graduates are creative problem solvers, lifelong learners, and highly adaptable leaders in our rapidly changing world. In addition to studying fundamental computing science topics, our students choose from a variety of elective courses, including artificial intelligence, software engineering, computer graphics, databases, programming languages, computer networking, and virtual reality.

This program is designed for students interested in a degree that combines the two disciplines.

Biosystems engineers help to create new technologies to improve the well-being of humans and animals, and to preserve and enhance natural resources and the environment. Our program objective is to graduate design-ready engineers prepared for professional practice by providing students with a broad foundation in the application of engineering principles to biological systems. The Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering is one of five undergraduate engineering majors that can be pursued after a common year of foundation studies.

Chemical engineers convert raw materials into valuable products, or separate complex mixtures into their constituent components. Chemical engineering is one of the most broadly-based engineering disciplines, which means the techniques and skills you’ll gain will be directly applicable to a wide range of real world work environments. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur in class, during tutorials, and through designing a complete industrial process for a specific product.

Civil engineering involves the conception, design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of many structures and systems vital to the public. Civil engineering is a very broad discipline, which means the techniques and skills you’ll gain will be directly applicable to a wide range of real world work environments. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur in class, during tutorials, and through the completion of a full-year design project.

Electrical engineers are involved in almost every facet of our high-tech world. They explore and develop new and innovative technologies through the research and manipulation of electrical phenomena. Electrical engineering reaches every corner of our lives, which means the techniques and skills you’ll gain will be directly applicable to a wide range of real world work environments. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur in class, during tutorials, and through working on an advanced-level project in specialized research-and-design courses.

The Mining Engineering program at the University of Alberta is the biggest of its kind in Canada, offering a broad-based program covering subjects ranging from surface and underground mining to physical and mathematical sciences. Our graduates are well equipped to compete and succeed in a variety of careers in industry and government.

Biomedical or biomechanical engineering is the application of the principles of engineering to the solution of problems in medicine and clinical sciences. You’ll receive a human-centric education that builds on the traditional Mechanical Engineering degree, and helps prepare you for employment in the health care industry, or for graduate-level studies.

The Price Faculty of Engineering is Western Canada’s oldest engineering school. With a legacy of innovation, collaboration, and educational excellence, the Faculty is home to five engineering departments and over 20 programs and options for students.

Engineering physics intersects a variety of engineering disciplines together with mathematics, applied physics, and the natural sciences. Engineering physicists are accomplishing breakthroughs and innovations in a variety of fields by applying cutting-edge physics research to new and existing technologies.

Computer engineers play a key role in designing, constructing, and integrating the technology that continues to change our lives every day. Our Computer Engineering program provides you with a broad background in the theory and application of hardware and software technologies. As a result, graduates are qualified for positions ranging from traditional computer engineering positions (e.g. software designer, computer systems designer) to positions often associated with electrical engineering (e.g. electronics circuit designer).

Students can complete year one of the University of Alberta Bachelor of Science in Engineering program at Keyano College. All students (regardless of whether they attend Keyano College or the University of Alberta) follow a common curriculum in their first year.

Biomechanics examines the forces acting upon and within a biological structure, as well as the effects produced by these forces. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur while actively working on problems in class and during labs. You'll learn how to apply mechanical theories and concepts to living systems with special emphasis on the human body and its movement, structure, and function.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta offers a broad-based program that prepares graduates for immediate employment in a wide variety of industries ranging from transportation to medicine. You will gain a thorough understanding of mechanical engineering by taking courses in five major areas: solid mechanics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and design. The emphasis is on providing opportunities for you to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on application and design.

The Computer Process Control curriculum is built around the Chemical Engineering program core. You will take all the required chemical engineering courses (including material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, separation processes, and chemical reactor analysis), as well as additional specialized courses that help to develop your skills as a computer process control engineer.
