| What it is | You study how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — engines, pumps, robots, and similar equipment — using physics and mathematics. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits students who enjoy solving practical problems, like how things work and why they fail, and who want hands-on learning combined with classroom theory. | Biomedical mechanical engineering combines mechanical engineering with biology and medicine, teaching you to design and build medical devices, prosthetics, and equipment that work inside or on the human body. Unlike a standard mechanical engineering program, this one integrates life sciences throughout, so you learn how human anatomy and physiology affect your designs. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare applications and want direct experience through paid work terms. | This program combines electrical engineering with computer science, so you study both how to design electrical systems and how to write software that controls them. Unlike a single engineering degree, you earn two degrees in five years by taking courses in both fields simultaneously. It suits students who want flexibility across hardware and software rather than committing to just one discipline, and who are willing to spread their study over an extra year to do both. |

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.
