What it isYou study civil engineering and biomedical engineering together in one program, combining skills in building and infrastructure design with the biology and chemistry needed to develop medical devices and treatments. Unlike separate engineering degrees, this integrated approach lets you apply engineering problem-solving to health-related challenges. It suits students interested in how engineering and biology intersect, who want flexibility to pursue either path or blend them.Engineering Science is a broad engineering program where you study math, physics, and engineering fundamentals before specializing in areas like aerospace, electrical, biotechnology, or general engineering. Unlike traditional engineering programs that lock you into one specialty from year one, this lets you explore multiple fields before choosing your focus. It suits students who are strong in math and science but unsure which engineering discipline fits them best, and who want optional paid work experience integrated into their degree.Smith Engineering's common first year means you take the same core courses as all engineering students — math, physics, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals — before choosing a specialization like mechanical, civil, chemical, or aerospace engineering in second year. This delays your choice, letting you explore different engineering fields before committing. It suits students who know they want engineering but are unsure which branch fits them best.

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.
