| What it is | Mechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — everything from engines to robots to manufacturing equipment. You'll study physics, materials, thermodynamics, and how to turn ideas into working products. This program includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid engineering jobs at real companies, giving you hands-on experience before you graduate. It suits people who like solving practical problems, enjoy math and physics, and want to see their ideas come to life. | You study engineering principles applied to human health and medical devices, combining mechanical engineering with biology and chemistry. Unlike a straight mechanical engineering program, this integrates life sciences from the start so you design and build medical equipment and systems that actually work inside or with the body. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare applications rather than general machines or structures. |

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.
