A List of Engineering Colleges in Canada

York University

• York University in Toronto offers engineering education through its School of Engineering. The school includes three engineering programs or "streams." In the computer engineering stream, students learn how to develop both computer hardware and software. Courses for upper-level computer engineering students include logic, probability, electronics, digital communication and computer architecture. The geomatics stream boasts a high level of demand for graduates. Geomatics is a new field of engineering based around the collection and collation of geographic data. Upper-level geomatics students take courses in continuum mechanics, electricity and magnetism. The space engineering stream trains students in the science of constructing space vehicles. It is the only such program in Canada. An optional internship is available to all York School of Engineering students between their third and fourth year of college.
