| What it is | You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings. Civil engineering differs from architecture because you focus on the structural and technical side — materials, safety, and how things work — rather than aesthetics and design. This program includes a co-op work term, so you'll get hands-on experience at engineering firms or construction sites alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy math and physics, like solving practical problems, and want to build things that serve communities. | You study how Earth's systems work — its atmosphere, weather, climate, oceans, geology, and space — using physics, chemistry, and math. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your courses, giving you real experience in research labs or environmental organizations. It suits people curious about how the planet functions and wanting to test their skills in the field before deciding on a career. | Industrial engineering teaches you how to design and improve systems that make things or deliver services — factories, hospitals, supply chains. Unlike civil engineering, which focuses on building infrastructure, or materials science, which studies what things are made of, industrial engineering optimizes how people, machines, and processes work together. The program includes a co-op component, so you'll do paid work terms at companies alongside your studies. It suits people who like math and science, enjoy solving practical problems, and want hands-on experience before graduating. |

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.
