Create... Collaborate... Communicate...
To apply your creativity and see it in action… to learn to work together in effective groups… and to tell the world about what you have done. It's what Engineers do in the real world. It's what you will do in Queen's engineering, starting from day one.
WHY QUEEN'S ENGINEERING?
Three pillars support our program – a dynamic curriculum, dedicated professors to guide you through it, and the facilities to support it. Three pillars in perfect balance.
CURRICULUM
which is constantly evolving as the world changes; as our profession changes. Hands-on learning, which integrates theory and practice, is the cornerstone of our program. A myriad of opportunities exist to develop your creative side, with collaborative design projects that will challenge you, broaden your horizons, and take you further than you ever dreamed possible.
PROFESSORS
who are world class researchers and engineers but for whom teaching YOU is the number one priority! They are there in your lectures, your tutorials, your labs – knowing when to help, and when to step back and let the learning come from you.
FACILITIES
that are so far ahead of the curve that the buildings themselves are teaching tools. Our main engineering building, the Integrated Learning Centre (ILCentre) set the standard to which engineering programs at other universities aspire.
COMMON FIRST YEAR + OPEN DISCIPLINE CHOICE
And when you do choose your program, you don't have to worry about caps or quotas. Provided you pass all of your First Year courses, you are guaranteed a place in your engineering program of choice.
