| What it is | 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. | Nanotechnology Engineering is the study of designing and building materials and devices at the molecular and atomic scale, combining chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Unlike a general engineering program, this one requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between classroom and industry jobs so you graduate with significant hands-on experience. It suits students strong in math and sciences who want practical engineering experience and are interested in how materials behave at extremely small scales. | Biomedical Engineering combines engineering design with biology and medicine to develop medical devices, implants, and diagnostic tools. Unlike general engineering, it focuses specifically on solving problems in healthcare and the human body. You'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with companies in the medical technology sector, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want to apply engineering skills to help people but need real-world exposure to decide if the field is right for them. |

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.
