Key Messages - ANS ✔✔1. Western Engineering delivers unique learning opportunities,
including:A common first year that allows students to develop a close bond with their
classmates and experience various disciplines of engineering before selecting a discipline in
second year. Last year, over 90% of our first-year students got into their first-choice program.A
first-year Business for Engineers course. In today's world, business is fundamental for
professional engineering.
2. There are nine professional engineering programs:Biomedical EngineeringChemical
EngineeringCivil EngineeringComputer EngineeringElectrical EngineeringIntegrated
EngineeringMechanical EngineeringMechatronic Systems EngineeringSoftware Engineering.
3. Students gain a competitive edge towards a rewarding career with Dual Degrees, available in
conjunction with Ivey Business School, Western Law, as well as other faculties across campus.
Western Engineering is also offering Biomedical Engineering at the undergraduate level and as a
dual degree with chemical, electrical, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering.
4. Other unique learning opportunities at Western Engineering include:Certificates (Engineering
Leadership and Innovation Certificate)Externship (To provide hands-on experience with practical
courses like welding and machining)International Experiences (Engineers Without Borders,
Exchanges, International Research)An accelerated Master's ProgramLeadership Opportunities
5. Internship and Co-op opportunities are available. Internships are year-long and are paid,
whereas co-ops occur during the summer months (May - August). Both are optional.
6. Peer Tutoring and Mentorship programs are also available. The Super Tutors program
connects first-year students with upper year students for free tutoring and to help ease the
transition to university life. A Big Sister/Little
