| 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. | Materials Engineering teaches you how to choose, design, and improve the substances that go into everything from phone screens to aircraft parts. Unlike general engineering, it focuses specifically on understanding materials' properties at the atomic level and how to make them work better. Co-op terms let you apply this in real industry settings. This suits people who are curious about how materials behave and want hands-on experience solving practical problems in manufacturing and product design. |

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.
