The only program of its kind in North America, Engineering Chemistry graduates are accredited as both chartered chemists and as professional engineers. Get a strong foundation in two disciplines, covering organic and inorganic chemistry, reactivity, structural determination and molecular materials and focusing on the pillars of chemical diagnostics, alternative energy, and process synthesis.
Biomedical Engineering involves the application of engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biological systems with the objective of generating solutions to health-related problems. This area is diverse and multidisciplinary, bringing in concepts from chemistry, cell biology, mechanics, bioelectricity, mathematics, and physiology. The multidisciplinary nature of the field is reflected in our collaborative biomedical engineering Master’s and PhD programs.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) has substantial expertise in AI-related methodologies and application areas and is an ideal place for the training of highly-qualified graduates with area-specific knowledge, skills, and competences sought by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector.

Special skills, strategies and strengths are needed to turn an idea into a viable and thriving business.
Undergraduate program: Mechanical engineers are needed wherever there are machines or devices - including the human body. Their work covers every stage of design, manufacturing, testing, operation, and research. Queen’s provides the skills needed to excel in the broad field of mechanical engineering, with a general option as well as specializations in biomechanical or materials engineering.
Engineering physics combines the practical skills of engineering with the deep knowledge of a scientist, applying analytical and lateral thinking to modern engineering challenges. Courses in quantum mechanics, laser optics and nanotechnology will help prepare you for an engineering career at the leading edge of technology. You will acquire advanced problem-solving and instrumentation skills, and will be able to apply superior mathematical, analytical and abstract-thinking ability to modern engineering challenges.
Undergraduate studies: Electrical Engineering is a broad discipline that spans from the physical world to the purely information-based world. In this program, you will build on a base of applied mathematics and physics and learn to use the laws of physics that govern electrical systems to design new products and services.
Streams of specialization include:
Undergraduate studies: Computer engineers build connections between the virtual and physical worlds. In this program, you will learn to develop and advance the information and communication technology that is changing the way people live and work.
Streams of specialization include:
Undergraduate program: Learn how to design, plan, and build the structures and systems of our built world while protecting the natural environment to shape society and the world we live in. Civil engineering addresses the present challenges in environmental, geotechnical, hydrotechnical, and structural engineering including those arising from climate change.
Undergraduate program: Learn to design, control, and optimize energy-efficient, sustainable, and economically viable processes to generate products such as energy, materials, food, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical devices. Queen’s prepares engineers to work on any scale, from mass manufacturing to micro-scale chemical reactions, with specializations in chemical process engineering and biochemical engineering.
