Teamwork in Action

Our Program The Bachelor of Engineering degree at the University of Guelph offers a non-departmentalized program structure, that exposes our students to the multidisciplinary nature of engineering. Students choose from a combination of traditional and non-traditional engineering disciplines and benefit from the integration of designand teamwork throughout their program. Our program disciplines are:

Biological Engineering Environmental Engineering Biomedical Engineering Mechanical EngineeringComputer Engineering Water Resources Engineering

University of Guelph Advantage • Students begin their first work term after completing two years of their program and mastering the core competencies needed to integrate readily into the workplace. • Each year, students undertake a design intensive, multidisciplinary course that focuses on collaboration and project management. • Employers can post, interview and hire throughout the semester. • Students are available for employment for 4 or 8 month work terms.
