Overview

Program Description The Systems Design Engineering looks at the big picture to find the connections that advance technology and innovation. Students will learn the fundamentals in electrical, mechanical, and software engineering to prepare for a career with the flexibility to solve the world's biggest problems. Students will examine the people, materials, tools, software, and other factors involved in any engineering problem. Students will learn to look at the system as a whole and assess how one change will affect another element, using a variety of modelling, analysis, and design methods. The University of Waterloo’s project-based approach gives students lots of opportunity to apply their learning to real problems in a wide range of industries. Plus students will graduate with two full years of paid work experience through North America's largest co-op program. By graduation, students will be ready to develop comprehensive, ground-breaking solutions for the toughest engineering problems. Think everything from health-care management to advanced cyber-physical security and complex energy systems. Students will learn fundamentals in electrical, mechanical, and software engineering with an overarching focus on engineering design and systems-driven thinking. Choose from 300 different electives to gain a well-rounded experience!
