1- Architectural Engineering:
https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/programs/architectural-engineering
Build better buildings — and a bright career in the process:
Combine engineering expertise with architectural savvy to boost the energy efficiency, durability, and sustainability of buildings. In Waterloo's newest engineering program, you'll learn how to design, renovate, and retrofit flexible buildings that adapt to different needs. And have the opportunity to combine it all with co-op.
You'll cover all the science and engineering that goes into good building design, including mechanics, structural analysis, structural design and more. In third year, you'll study at Waterloo's world-class School of Architecture, deepening your understanding of aesthetics, culture, and other elements of design.
As a result, you'll graduate speaking the language of both engineers and architects — a skill that will put you on the fast track to leadership in the building design industry.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING?
Architectural Engineering students will be particularly well-suited to work in building design consulting firms, of all sizes, that house the various specialists the currently undertake building design under the same roof (i.e. interior designers, architects, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers). However, they could also work for government public works departments, school boards and hospital authorities responsible for overseeing public building construction and maintenance, private building infrastructure owners (e.g. airport authorities), building construction firms, developers, and more.

Learn about the future of careers in engineering.
North Americans spend more than 90% of their lives inside buildings. During this time, their productivity and quality of life are directly affected by the nature of the enclosed environment. Buildings also represent one of the largest components of any industrialized country's capital wealth. The resources used and the contaminants released by the construction and operation of buildings are now widely understood to have widespread impact on the environment and the economy. Future buildings will need to be more energy efficient, durable, sustainable, low maintenance, and flexible than existing buildings. Today there already exists an enormous portfolio of buildings that require repair, renovation, and rehabilitation. Managing, repairing, replacing, and retrofitting existing buildings will become an increasingly important activity in the future.
There is a pressing need to support this massive and changing industry with the proper technical knowledge and management skills. The Architectural Engineering curriculum is designed to address this need by providing the necessary fundamentals of mathematics and the natural sciences, as well as to provide perspectives from the fields of the social sciences and humanities.
Architectural Engineering has “Communication, Collaboration, and Design” as its mantra. A common Architectural Engineering class held in a studio setting is the core of each term and knits together issues such as design, aesthetics, culture, environment, and professionalism in the context of engineered buildings. A studio teaching experience, common in design-centric plans such as architecture and industrial design, allows for enhanced peer-learning, better collaborative work, inspiration from surroundings, rapid modelling and prototyping, while encouraging hands-on investigations and exploration. Another of the distinctive features of the curriculum is its 3A and 3B academic terms, during which students take their classes at the University of Waterloo Cambridge campus, immersed in the School of Architectu

https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/programs/architecture
Create the blueprints for a great career:
In one of North America’s top schools of architecture, you’ll get a broad education that covers everything from building materials and construction techniques to cultural history, social context, green architecture, and more. Not to mention you can combine it all with co-op.
However, the core of pre-professional program is design courses, starting right in year one. You’ll get your own dedicated space in our studio where you’ll develop your ideas and skills through a series of hands-on projects.
Learn about society and culture, the principles of physics, materials and techniques of construction, human interaction with the natural and built environment, critical thought, and the diverse forms of creative expression.
It all happens in a beautiful historic building in the city of Cambridge, about 30 kilometres south of the main Waterloo campus, complete with labs, exhibition galleries, and a world-class design library.
PRESENTATION:
The presentation is an opportunity for us to learn more about each student’s interests and motivations. We want to know about the things that you are curious and passionate about –hobbies, books, social issues, etc. We also want to know what you observe in the world around you and your opinions about these things.
PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS:
Your portfolio is an essential component of your application to the School of Architecture. The purpose of the portfolio is to demonstrate your creativity and critical thinking, as well as technical skill. Applicants should include art, design and other creative work that illustrates those characteristics.
What to include in your portfolio
There are no specific requirements for portfolios. You can include any work you feel best demonstrates your creative interests and abilities. Possible portfolio pieces might include:
-Drawings or paintings of any subject
-Mixed media and conceptual work
-Examples of 3-dimensional works
-Craft and design work such as ceramics, jewelry, metal work or furniture
-Digital media work such as graphic design or animation
-Photography or video work
-Performance work such as dance and music, either recorded or performed live.
Portfolios consisting strictly of drafting or other technical drawings are rarely what the admissions committee is looking for. You are encouraged to also bring your sketchbooks to your interview as evidence of your thought and creative processes. It is preferable to bring in the original versions of your pieces, rather than photographic or other reproductions. If you intend to show performance work, please keep it brief to allow sufficient time for conversation during your interview.
Remember it is YOUR portfolio
Be prepared to speak to and answer questions about your creative work and other related interests. You should be able to demonstrate through discussion with the committee your personal knowledge and involvement in all pieces presented. An important aspect of the interview process is the determination of authorship of your portfolio pieces. Submission of work that is not your own will result in the dismissal of your application.
Your portfolio should be recent
Powers of observation, design sensitivity, drawing skills, and craftsmanship constantly improve and will likely be more refined in recent work. Include only what you consider
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM RELATE TO ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING?
If you're strong in artistic and creative abilities and have a background in math and science, Architecture is for you. You'll focus on design that applies social and cultural aspects as well as science and engineering to construction projects, ranging from accessible public space to environmental approaches to sustainable building and landscape and urban design.
Architectural Engineering is closer to Civil Engineering than it is to Architecture. Students will cover mechanics, structural analysis, structural design, and in the first two years, a lot of math. You'll learn about the science and engineering behind good building design – not just the structural aspects, but also energy efficiency, sustainable building design, and smart/green building design.

5- Civil Engineering：
https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/programs/civil-engineering
Make the world your sandbox (hardhat included)：
Bring on the bulldozers! In one of Canada’s largest (and the world's top 100) civil engineering programs, you’ll learn to design and maintain the massive infrastructure we all depend on: bridges, highways, airports, tunnels, dams, pollution-control facilities, and more.
This is a degree with lots of flexibility. Once you’ve completed your foundational courses, you can choose from a wide variety of technical electives in structural, transportation, geotechnical, and water/environmental engineering.
You’ll apply your knowledge during your six co-op work terms. This is your chance to test drive different career options: work for major construction and engineering companies, get experience with local or provincial governments, or spend a term abroad.
You’ll graduate ready to create structures — in Canada or overseas — that stand the test of time.
The Civil engineering program at Waterloo is both challenging and fulfilling, with a great deal of flexibility: students get to customize their degree with a large number of technical electives in structural, transportation, geotechnical, and water/environmental engineering. Of course, the co-op advantage is here, too: students can work in a number of different organization to determine what 'flavour' of civil engineering employment they like best, all while learning critical on-the-job skills.
The complex problems and needs of current and future societies have created challenges for Engineering unparalleled in our history. To interpret and satisfy these needs, civil engineers currently direct the spending of more than one tenth of Canada's gross national product – more than any other professional group. The civil engineer must deal with the human impact of engineering – the social, moral, and legal issues – to a far greater degree than ever before.
Historically, civil engineering is the oldest branch of engineering and dates back at least 5,000 years to the profession of "master builder" involving pyramids, temples, and irrigation projects. Civil engineering has become an extremely diverse field with opportunities for graduates in many areas of application. The use of electronic data collection methods and the application of computers has revolutionized the practice of civil engineering. Consequently, our curriculum is being constantly reviewed in order to produce engineering graduates who can use advanced aids to solve complex problems.
The Civil Engineering curriculum is designed to provide the necessary fundamentals of mathematics and the natural sciences as well as to provide perspectives from the fields of the social sciences and humanities.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Waterloo, being one of the largest in Canada, is able to offer elective courses in each of the following areas：
-Structural Engineering
Deals with the design and construction of all types of structures including buildings and bridges. Emphasis is placed on mechanics and the behaviour of materials.
-Construction Engineering and Management
Intended for students interested in project management, construction materials, construction engineering, and building engineering.
-Water and Waste Management Engineering
Addresses water and waste water treatment, surface and ground water pollution and control, solid and hazardous waste management, contaminant transport and behaviour in the environment. Support areas involving aquatic chemistry, computer modelling, simulation, and laboratory experimentation as examples are also stressed.
-Transportation Engineering
Deals with the planning, design, construction, traffic operation, and evaluation of streets, highways, airports, and transit systems.
-Geotechnical Engineering
Familiarizes students with the engineering properties of soils, the fundamentals of soil mechanics, and the application of geotechnical data and fundamentals to the design of foundation elements, earth-retaining structures, excavations, earth embankments, and highway pavements.
-Engineering Mechanics
For students with a strong interest in a rigorous study of mechanics, applied mathematics, and related fields. Leads to an understanding of advanced analysis and serving as a preparation for graduate study in structural engineering, hydraulics, mechanics of solids and fluids, or properties of materials.
-Water Resources Engineering
Deals with the planning, management, design, and operation of water supply and distribution systems, flood control and flood hazard mapping, hydrologic and hydraulic aspects of environmental issues, and application of remotely-sensed data to hydrologic and environmental problems.
-Materials
Courses in this area are intended to provide students interested in structural engineering, mechanics, or properties of materials with a background in materials science.
Additional Areas of Study：
Alternatively, the student can choose a more general pattern of study involving courses from several topic areas, or a program outside the traditional civil engineering field. For instance, with the approval of the associate chair for undergraduate studies, the student may augment the Civil Engineering course curriculum with elective courses from public administration, planning, management science, business administration, bioengineering, environmental health, and others.
To this end, the Civil Engineering curriculum has been designed to allow the maximum possible flexibility while still meeting the requirements for the professional degree. The Civil Engineering curriculum enables the students to conduct engineering analysis and design, to perform risk and life cycle analysis, and asset management, and to evaluate the impact of engineering work on the environment.
The profession of civil engineering is involved with the creation, operation, and maintenance of structures associated with water resources, transportation, power generation, and a wide range of industrial, commercial and institutional buildings and complexes including whole urban structures. The activities include investigation, planning design, construction, and evaluation.
Vocationally, a civil engineer may focus in such areas as biomechanics, solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, elasticity, building structures, bridges, hydrology, hydraulics, sanitation (public health), industrial wastes, water resource structures, irrigation and drainage, inland waterways, harbours, aerospace, highways (roads and streets), railroads, pipelines, geology, meteorology, soil mechanics, foundations, tunnelling (rock mechanics), surveying and cartography, urban and regional planning, and overall project planning. A civil engineering education may also be combined wi

Supply chain management is the process of planning, implementing and managing the flow of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption.
-Information technologies: The information technologies theme focuses on how technology is designed and managed to support effective decision-making. Topics deal with technical applications in software design and development, data mining and telecommunication, and the organizational and social issues associated with the use of information technologies.
-Management of technology: The management of technology theme builds on the foundation of management topics in accounting, finance, economics, organizational behaviour, and organizational design. Courses in this theme deal with operational and organizational issues related to managing innovation and technological change.
The capstone design project is intended to provide students with the opportunity to engage in a significant design experience based on engineering and management knowledge and skills gained in previous courses and on co-operative work terms. The project will reinforce the concepts of teamwork and project management.

Mechatronics engineering undergraduate program ：
https://uwaterloo.ca/mechanical-mechatronics-engineering/future-undergraduate-students/mechatronics-engineering
The mechatronics program at the University of Waterloo is administered by the department of mechanical and mechatronics engineering. The mechatronics program differs very significantly from the mechanical engineering program in the courses that students take.
Half of the second and third year courses in mechatronics are provided by the systems design engineering and electrical and computer engineering departments. This makes the mechatronics program ideal for students who prefer a broad, interdisciplinary engineering education that is highly integrated and focussed.
Today, the University of Waterloo's mechatronics program is unmatched in terms of content and integration. The program admission target intake is around 220 students per year. The program had 224 students admitted in fall 2018. Admission to the program is highly competitive.
Students are required to participate in the work/study (co-op) program, which entails completing five work terms in industry. The degree, a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Mechatronics Engineering, is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).
Mechatronics engineering is an integrated approach to the design of computer controlled electro-mechanical systems. Mechatronic applications are pervasive in our everyday lives, so much so that we often take them for granted. Familiar examples of mechatronic systems include automotive anti-lock braking systems (ABS), SLR cameras, and aerospace "fly-by-wire" systems. These mechatronic designs are much more than simply the addition of a microcontroller to an existing mechanical system – their complete and properly integrated redesign is what makes them successful. An integrated design philosophy has been incorporated into the development of this plan.
In order to successfully combine mechanical design, computers, software, and electronics with an integrated design approach, the mechatronics engineer requires an understanding of a breadth of topics. The tools that make up the mechatronics engineer’s repertoire are drawn from many departments across the Faculty of Engineering: Mechanical, Electrical and Computer, and Systems Design Engineering. The result is a multidisciplinary plan, which provides students with a unique set of skills.
The curriculum is a rich blend of courses prepared and delivered specifically for Mechatronics Engineering students, designated with the MTE label, and courses selected from other engineering disciplines: Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and Systems Design Engineering (SYDE). Mechatronics Engineering students thus benefit from a breadth of expertise.

Demand for software engineers：
Over the last few decades, information technology has grown dramatically, with significant impact to both the global economy and everyday life. Computing power has increased rapidly while the costs of hardware and communications have dropped, making it increasingly more economical to implement systems in software rather than hardware. Mechanical devices in automobiles, airplanes, and power plants are being replaced by software components because software is more adaptable, can provide more functionality, and can be upgraded more easily to accommodate future needs. Software is used in medical devices, transportation systems, and financial systems to automate repetitive but critical tasks. Scientists and business researchers use software to sift through data warehouses and to identify pertinent facts and trends. Banking, insurance, telecommunications, and other service industries use software to automate and personalize the services they offer to their customers. As software applications have grown more complex, there has been a surge in the demand for software engineers who have the knowledge and expertise to develop high-quality software systems.
Software Engineering at Waterloo：
Waterloo's Software Engineering degree program builds on the University's strengths in Computer Science and Engineering. Your studies will not only include a solid foundation in mathematics, science, engineering, and computer science, but will also cover fundamental concepts of the software development process, project management, and proper technical documentation. You'll apply these techniques to create and maintain complex software systems, in areas such as telecommunications, computer graphics, scientific computing, and financial systems. Because software engineering projects tend to involve large numbers of people, much of your work will involve teamwork. This experience will help you to develop strong communication, interpersonal, and reasoning skills.

The department administers two Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) degree programs -
1.systems design engineering and
2.biomedical engineering.
Design thinking：
Beginning in first year, systems design students engage in design workshops that involve devising solutions to problems using specific approaches. Working in teams, students learn to implement their solutions by creating, testing, and evaluating prototypes. Teams are generally dynamic and effective, with all members contributing equally for the better of the whole.
In first year, students are assigned to teams and given problems such as designing physical systems that use wasted energy to help with everyday tasks. Possible solutions could include building a bedside lampshade cover to keep you warm at night, or a solar-powered personal anxiety detector.
In fourth year, students choose their partners, supervisor, and the specific problems that they will address. They then spend a full year designing and building their solutions, developing ideas such as prosthetic forearms and stock market prediction programs. Some students have even converted their fourth-year projects into start-up companies, launched after (and sometimes before) graduation!
Options available to systems design students：
-Artificial Intelligence
-Biomechanics
-Entrepreneurship
-Environmental Engineering
-International Studies in Engineering
-Life Sciences
-Management Sciences
-Mechatronics
-Physical Sciences
-Software Engineering
-Statistics
The Engineering Profession：
Systems Design Engineering is a unique engineering discipline, which is formally accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). With four years of work experience beyond graduation (Bachelor of Applied Science - BASc), the systems design engineer may apply for registration as a professional engineer.
Each province within Canada has its own professional engineering association. The CEAB is a national organization that has representation from all of the provincial professional engineering associations. The CEAB determines what types of courses must be contained in a university engineering curriculum in order for the program to meet the standards of Canadian engineering. The Systems Design Engineering plan satisfies the strict standards of the CEAB and is therefore acknowledged as a fully qualified engineering plan. In fact, the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo is the only department of its kind in all of Canada and one of few in North America.
Systems Design Engineering is specifically oriented towards developing graduates who can solve problems lying at the interface of technology and the human environment. Therefore, if you are technically oriented and have a strong parallel interest in social and human problems, systems design engineering may be the right plan for you.
The Department of Systems Design Engineering also offers programs leading to Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Applied Science (MASc), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees and many Systems Design Engineering students have gone on to complete graduate degrees. The faculty members of the department are involved in a wide spectrum of research activities such as conflict analysis, pattern recognition, ergonomics, computer engineering, and mechatronics. Students who also wish to do research in one of these areas may start at the undergraduate level by entering the Accelerated Master's Programs in Engineering at the end of their 3B academic term.
In this way, they will be able to complete a Master's degree within one year after receiving their Bachelor's degree.
The Systems Design Engineering curriculum is quite challenging. It is not easy to acquire the tools for resolving the problems of complex systems. Moreover, these tools are becoming more and more sophisticated. On average, students in Systems Design Engineering are expected to work at least 50 hours per week as they increase awareness of the theories of human communication and electro-mechanical systems, make progress in the areas of systems theory, human systems engineering, and socio-economic systems, and absorb the implications of the tremendous growth of electronic computing systems.
Employment Opportunities：
Graduates of systems design engineering will find employment opportunities in a number of diverse fields. To some extent, the technical elective area chosen by the student in the third and fourth year determines more specifically what the student does upon graduation. Some particular types of careers which systems design engineers may be involved with include:
-analysis and optimization of engineering systems
-simulation and advanced computer applications
-process control and instrumentation
-operations research
-development of alternative energy sources
-design of human-machine interfaces
-control systems design
-socio-economic systems design
-data analysis and pattern recognition
-occupational health and safety
-product design, planning, and management
-ergonomics
-resources management
-research and development
These types of professional activities may fall within the domain of one or more engineering disciplines such as chemical, civil (e.g., structural, water resource, and transportation systems), electrical (e.g., circuit design and microprocessor applications), mechanical (e.g., energy conversion and design of machines), environmental (e.g., environmental impact assessment and planning), industrial, and human factors engineering.
