  Queen’s offers 10 dynamic engineering programs
  
  Chemical Engineering
  
  Chemical Engineering is the most universal and versatile of engineering disciplines.
  
  Civil Engineering
  
  Civil Engineering is a challenging and dynamic profession serving society to improve the quality of our life, the health of our social system, the continuity of our economy and business activities, and our competitive position in the international market place.
  
  Computer Engineering
  
  Did you know recent surveys have shown that Electrical and Computer Engineers are amongst the highest demand university graduates and that Computer Engineers are listed amongst the professions with the highest quality of life?
  
  Electrical Engineering
  
  Electrical Engineers deal with telecommunications, computers, signal processing, robotics, biomedicine, transportation, industrial process control, electrical power generation and distribution, and design and operation of industrial machinery.
  
  Engineering Chemistry
  
  Engineering Chemistry graduates bring a strong background in both chemistry and chemical engineering to treat problems of industrial interest.
  
  Engineering Physics
  
  Thinking of Engineering Physics? It could lead to a career in Science & Technology, Aerospace, Computers & Electronics, Image Processing & Medical Physics, Finance, Education & Management, or Academic, Industrial & Government Research.
  
  Geological Engineering
  
  A Geological Engineer combines a knowledge of geological materials and earth engineering design principles to create viable and sustainable projects.
  
  Mathematics and Engineering
  
  The Mathematics and Engineering undergraduate programme is a challenging one. Students who are most successful in the programme have deep interests in both Mathematics and Engineering. If you are an Engineering student wondering whether Mathematics and Engineering is for you, a good question to ask yourself is, “Do you want to know why and not just what?”
  
  Mechanical Engineering
  
  MME uses principles of engineering graphics, mathematics, materials, physics and economics to conceive, design, develop, manufacture, operate and maintain processes and devices. MME is the broadest of the engineering disciplines, and is present in every sector of our society (environment, housing, food and water, energy, industry, transportation, education, health care, government).
  
  Mining Engineering
  
  The Robert M. Buchan Department of Mining at Queen’s holds a significant position in the Canadian mining industry, and is currently one of the largest mining schools in Canada and the World.
