| What it is | Materials Engineering teaches you how to understand, design, and improve the materials that make up everything from car parts to phone screens. You'll study the science of metals, ceramics, and plastics, and learn how to manufacture them at scale. Unlike general engineering, it focuses specifically on what materials are made of and how to use that knowledge to solve real problems in industry. | Industrial engineering teaches you how to design and improve manufacturing systems and processes — how factories run, how materials flow, and how to make production faster and more efficient. It combines hands-on work with machinery and materials science alongside the math and problem-solving needed to optimize operations. The co-op option lets you work in real manufacturing or operations environments while you study, which is valuable because the field is heavily practice-based and employers often hire students who've already been on site. | 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. |
