Majors
Since 1874, engineering at the University of Guelph has focused on improving humans, animals and plants, through innovative engineering techniques. All of our engineering programs are developed with design engineering as a foundation; design is fundamental to all U of G Engineering disciplines.
As a student, your hands-on design projects will have you transform theory into reality. Those hands-on design projects begin in your first year. Every year, you’ll work alongside students from other engineering disciplines on a different design project, leading to your final capstone design course in your final year.
As an engineering student at U of G, you have seven majors to choose from, each offered in co-op. You have the opportunity to take elective courses outside of engineering, such as arts, social sciences and business. Pursue a minor after 2nd year, and expand your knowledge outside of engineering!
- U of G Engineering was Canada’s first recipient of the Women-Friendly Engineering School Award.
- Collaboration is pivotal at Guelph Engineering. By working in a team with engineers from other disciplines, you gain unique perspectives. Explore collaborative opportunities with programs such as agriculture, arts, business and veterinary sciences. Solve real world problems by partnering with industry.
AS A STUDENT...
- You will have a flexible and common first semester to enable your interaction with all engineering majors.
- Choose from over 40 minors to complement your degree. Popular choices for Engineering minors are: business, arts or international development.
- With five courses in your first semester, you will have opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities.
- U of G has one of the largest intramural programs in Canada!
- From hockey to swimming, Varsity Gryphon Engineers compete on and off the field.
- Join the more than 200 clubs on campus. Be part of engineering-specific clubs, such as Guelph Innovator; The Engineering Society; Women in Engineering and Science; Engineers Without Borders; Formula SAE Racing Team; Concrete Toboggan; Guelph Hyperloop and Robotics.
Design is an important part of your learning experience at Guelph. We don’t have a specific engineering program called Design Engineering; we incorporate Design into the curriculum for all Engineering disciplines. Come see how our hands on approach make for a fun and rewarding learning experience.

What Students are saying about Engineering at the University of Guelph
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy
text ever since the 1500s,when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived
not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
