About this photoChemical Engineering Senior Lecturer Chris Ambidge (right) demonstrates proper pipetting technique to students Peter Maka andRachel Chow. A dedicated instructor, Ambidge teaches several undergraduate laboratory courses and is a avourite among hisstudents. He explains, “My role, like all aculty members, is to make the complex principles students need to learn accessible andcomprehensible. A little un along the way doesn’t hurt either.” ChemE lab courses ocus on the practical learning o theoreticalknowledge.
What is Chemical Engineering?Chemical engineering is based on the application of mathematicsand the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics and biology.
As a chemical engineer, you draw on your sound understandingof these scientic and mathematical principles to design, build,evaluate and improve systems, products and processes that benet society, protect the environment and build the future.
Nearly every industry and aspect of life relies on your talentsas a chemical engineer—like the gas that fuels your car(petrochemicals and petroleum industry), the electricity thatpowers your home (electricity generation), the water you d rink (water treatment), the textbooks you read (pulp and paper), andeven the fortied foods that nourish thousands of people aroundthe world (food engineering).
You might also apply your background in chemical engineeringto the biomedical eld by creating articial organs, articial skinand devices for spinal cord regeneration.
Your work doesn’t end there; you might have a hand inenvironmental consulting to develop recycling and wastetreatment solutions, design and implement efcient andsustainable energy solutions, and clean contaminated sites to
restore the environment back to its natural state.
Chemical engineering is aboutmaking a better world.
What You’ll LearnFollowing your Year 1 foundation courses, you will get a solidgrounding in chemical engineering principles during Year 2through courses that examine process engineering, heat andmass transfer, and uid dynamics.
In Years 3 and 4, you will increase your knowledge of importantapplications through technical electives such as bioprocessand biomedical engineering, environmental engineering,food engineering, plastics and polymers, pulp and paper, andentrepreneurship. You will also expand your knowledge by takingcomplementary studies in humanities and other areas.
You will put theory into practice through innovative courses andlaboratories that simulate industrial processes. For example, theUnit Operations Lab is a teaching facility lled with large-scaledindustrial equipment, including a two-storey distillation columnand batch reactors that students operate. In Year 4, you willparticipate in a Plant Design course that challenges you and yourteam to design an industrial processing plant from concept toimplementation in just 10 weeks.

About this photoStudents track and model changes in the urban system using the Integrated Land Use Transportation Environment ModellingSystem, part o the Intelligent Transportation Systems Lab (ITS). The ITS video displays (shown in background) show real-time tracconditions in the Greater Toronto Area and is used by the campus radio station in their daily trac reports.
What is Civil Engineering?
The work of civil engineers is all around
us—from the roads and highways wetravel daily, to the treatment plants thatsupply us with safe drinking water. As acivil engineer, you’ll also create solutionsto urban issues that impact civilization’squality of life. For instance, civil engineers work hard to preserve the environment by developing new and innovative methodsof reducing existing and future pollution.Civil engineering is a profession concerned with virtually allaspects of the urban environment and the interactions between built, natural and human environments. The urban env ironmentis the infrastructure that makes civilization possible, including:the design of buildings and bridges, underground spaces, powergeneration systems, structures that resist extreme events like
earthquakes, disposing of waste, providing safe and efcienttransportation solutions, and alternative energy sources.
Advances in biotechnology, materials, communications andinformation technology impact the work of civil engineers ina big way. Many “smart” civil infrastructures using advancedmaterials technology are already in place. For instance,civil engineers use advanced sensing technologies, remotemonitoring and analysis systems to manage many aspects of thetransportation sector—from collecting tolls to controlling trafcsignals.
Issues like sustainable energy and bioremediation (a processthat uses microorganisms to return the environment back to itsoriginal state) are critically important on the world stage—andcivil engineers are exceptionally well-positioned to have a majorimpact in these important elds.
What You’ll LearnThe focus of our program is on urban engineering and
sustainable global development. Right from your introductory courses in mathematics, computing, chemistry, physics, appliedstructural mechanics, uid mechanics, hydraulics, materials,surveying, geology, computer graphics and engineering ecology, your education will focus on providing you with a holistic andsustainable perspective to learning.
In your upper years, you’ll learn by putting your skills to practicein small and large design projects. These design projects oftenallow you to focus on those areas that interest you most, likeurban environmental problems, for instance. We place a stronghands-on and practical emphasis in many upper year courses.For example, in one unique course in surveying, our studentstravel to the beautiful Kawartha Highlands to learn all about theart and science of surveying and teamwork.

Summer Student Research Program As part of the Faculty’s Summer Student Research Program,all Engineering students have the opportunity to get directly involved in pioneering research endeavours.
As an example of opportunities available, a student working withProfessor Peter Herman in the ECE photonics group recently contributed to a project that involved using a laser to “inscribe”a microscopic lens on the end of a bre optic cable. The studentused an F2 laser, which uses extremely short wavelengths, toform the bre cable—something that had never been done before.This novel idea could be used as part of a biological “laboratory on a chip” to perform human cell analysis and diagnosis.

What is Electrical &Computer Engineering?
As an electrical and computer engineer, you will work at the heart of the mostrapidly developing technology the worldhas ever seen. This technology touchesand inuences nearly every aspect of life.
You are interested in electrical systems that provide energy topower the world, and will explore new ways to harvest energy from the sun, the wind, and other environmentally-friendly alternatives. As technology continues to become smaller, you’llunderstand how nanoelectronics can help us in everyday life by working with ever-smaller sized computers that control robots(and micro-robots). You are also interested in mechatronics andhow to control robots and automated processes.
Your expertise also has multiple medical applications, such asusing photonic crystals to create biomedical instruments thatsave lives. You’ll also develop incredibly intelligent softwarethat will become a key component in the delivery of medical
treatment. Your expertise has as many applications as you canimagine—from biomedical engineering to the aerospace industry.
As our world becomes more highly connected through technology, your skills as an electrical and computer engineer are criticalin revolutionizing the way we communicate, both wi relessly and through ultra high-speed connections. This same wirelesstechnology will be used for other purposes as well. For instance,this technology will help us study the planet from space andperform search and rescue operations.
What You’ll LearnIn Years 1 and 2 of both the Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE) programs, you will take a specic set of fundamental
courses in engineering design, communication, mathematics,digital systems, electronics, communication systems, computerarchitecture and software.
The rst two years of ECE provide you with an understanding of the basics from which you can launch into a wide set of coursechoices in Years 3 and 4 of your program. You will have thefreedom to select from a mixture of courses in these six generalareas, allowing you to customize your studies:
+ Photonics & Semiconductor Physics + Software + Electromagnetics & Energy Systems + Analog & Digital electronics + Communications, Signal Processing, and Control + Computer Hardware & Networks
The Electrical and Computer Engineering programs are housed within the same department. By combining the two areas of study, we are able to offer our students the widest variety of sub-discipline specializations. We are the only university with a
critical mass of teachers and researchers who are world-leadingexperts in all of these elds.
Optional Specializations Available Ater Year 2
Photonics | Electromagnetics | Control Systems | SignalProcessing | Bioengineering | Computer Software | DigitalElectronics | Semiconductor Physics | Energy Systems | Communications Systems | Computer Networks | ComputerHardware | Analog Electronics
A key part of your ECE education is the practice of building,thinking and designing systems using state-of-the-artlaboratories, with the latest hardware and software. For
example, the ECE Microprocessor Lab and Digital SystemsLab contains 100 stations of embedded computer and digitalsystems. These labs were recently upgraded to employ cutting-edge programmable logic systems that serve both as logic de signcapability and as an embedded processor. The labs includespecially designed materials to allow projects and labs in roboticsand signal processing.
Students typically spend three hours per week on project work in ECE labs. Our students learn a s much in their labs as they doin lectures. For example, two Year 2 students successfully built ahardware-only (no software) version of the game, “duck hunt” by interfacing a Nintendo “zapper gun” to the hardware in the lab,and driving a video display.

What is Industrial Engineering?
Whether it’s streamlining an operating
room, distributing products worldwide,improving customer relationships throughthe Internet or designing an airplanecockpit, all industrial engineers share thecommon goal of increasing an organization’sefciency, protability and safety.Industrial engineering is concerned withsolving problems through the applicationof scientic and practical knowledge. You see “the big picture” and understand issues that cutacross entire organizations within many industries and work environments, including information technology, health care,aerospace, power generation, nance and business consulting.To succeed in such diverse workplaces, you possess strongleadership skills and a commitment to working with teamsof managers, scientists and other professionals. That’s why industrial engineering is considered one of the most ‘people-focused’ elds of engineering.
Sometimes referred to as “systems engineering,” the name“industrial engineer” is a traditional name derived from themanufacturing roots of the discipline. Today, “industrial” nolonger means just manufacturing—it can be used to evaluate andimprove productivity and quality in all industries.
What You’ll LearnThe program balances a traditional engineering curriculum with courses encompassing management science, IT, humanphysiology and psychology. In Year 1, you learn engineering basics, sharing your classes with Mechanical Engineeringstudents. Year 2 allows you to delve into the fundamentalsof statistics, operations research, and human-centredsystems design. These courses serve as a great introductionto the problem-solving skills that are at the core of industrialengineering.
Design and synthesis are the themes of Years 3 and 4, when you will put into action the concepts and tools you developed in yourfoundational years. For instance, you’ll tackle issues such as how to provide doctors and nurses with timely access to electronicpatient data, or how to design an information system to runan online music download store. Typical Year 4 classes includedecision analysis, scheduling and healthcare systems. The breadth of courses in our program allows you to explore otherfacets of industrial engineering including management science,manufacturing, innovation and entrepreneurship. A Year 4thesis applies your cumulative knowledge in a year-long researchproject where you solve a real-world problem.

She designed and demonstrated a Rube Goldberg machine at this event, which was eatured on theDiscovery Channel.
What is Mechanical Engineering?Chances are, if it moves, a mechanical engineer designed it. Aircraft design, planning a building’s ventilation system andimproving sustainable energy technology are all in a day’s work for mechanical engineers. They also save lives through biomedical technologies—the world’s rst articial heart was partially designed, manufactured and implanted usingmechanical engineering principles. The explosive growth incomputer power is harnessed by mechanical engineers forthe design and development of new “smart” products, such asmicro-robots.
As a mechanical engineer, you are an innovator. You areinterested in the physical principles involved in a product’sdesign, its manufacture, assembly, safe operation and naldisposal. You carefully consider appearance, ease of use, thecosts of design and effects on the environment. Robotics,automation, medical devices, environmentally responsiblepower generation or any form of transportation are justsome of the areas where society utilizes your products. Yourcreative and thoughtful design can positively transform the world. In fact, it would be hard to nd an area or object ineveryday life that is not in some way affected by a mechanicalengineer.
What You’ll Learn
Years 1 and 2 provide you with a solidunderstanding of the basics of mechanicalengineering, including mechanics,thermodynamics, mechanics of solids,materials science and complementary courses in the humanities.Upper year courses incorporate your knowledge into topicssuch as biomechanics, aerospace, manufacturing, productdesign, environmental impact and risk assessment, robotics,space system design, microprocessors and embeddedmicrocontrollers. Essential to curriculum is the inclusion of hands-on design, as seen in a favourite Year 3 course where you’ll learn about the fundamentals of creating great design.
In this course, you will be challenged to create a product by tackling existing design aws. The course ends with afriendly competition—you’ll attend a simulated trade -show where you’ll convince “buyers” to order your designs.
Your Year 4 thesis, a major research project, is your chancefor in-depth exploration of a topic under the guidance of aprofessor. You may decide to pursue a thesis topic relatingto work done in your Professional Experience Year (PEY), oreven through a student-based design team, such as the BlueSky Solar Car, Formula SAE Car or Mechatronics Design Association.

Nanoengineering The Nanoengineering Major
represents the rst undergraduate program o its
kind in the world, and transcends the traditional
boundaries between physics, chemistry and
biology. Students learn how controlling shape and
size at the nanometer scale enables the design
o smaller, lighter, aster and better perorming
materials, components and systems. Graduates
have the potential to radically transorm almost
any imaginable sector, including health care,
manuacturing, inormation technology, energy and
transportation.
Engineering Physics The Department o Physics
at the University o Toronto, together with the
Faculty o Applied Science & Engineering, gave
birth to the Engineering Physics program in 1935
(called Engineering Science since 1965). The
Physics Major continues to attract students with
a keen aptitude or physics who see the creativepotential or combining this with an engineering
degree. Graduates appreciate the high degree o
fexibility provided to them in terms o the design
o their program across a wide spectrum o
theoretical and experimental physics courses.
