| What it is | You study the core principles and applications of engineering across multiple disciplines — mechanics, materials, electrical systems, and design — rather than specializing in one branch from the start. This program includes mandatory work terms integrated throughout your degree, giving you hands-on experience in engineering roles while you study. It suits students who want broad engineering foundations and real workplace experience before deciding on a specialization. | You study how to design and build structures and systems that work with geological materials and conditions — things like dams, tunnels, foundations, and mines. Unlike pure geology, you learn practical engineering design and problem-solving alongside earth science. The co-op requirement means you alternate between school and paid work terms at engineering firms, which is how you gain hands-on experience before graduating. This program suits people who want to combine science with engineering and need real-world workplace experience built into their degree. | TrackOne is a first-year engineering program where you take core courses while exploring different engineering specializations before declaring your major. Unlike direct entry into a specific engineering stream, you delay choosing between chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, and other branches until you've tried foundational material in each. It suits students drawn to engineering but uncertain which discipline fits them best, or who want to sample multiple fields before committing. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
