School of Engineering (SOE)

Since 1874, the University of Guelph’s engineering program has dedicated itself to enhancing the well-being of humans, animals, and plants through innovative engineering methods. Engineering design forms the core of all our engineering majors, emphasizing its fundamental role in every discipline within U of G Engineering.

As a student, you will engage in hands-on design projects that bridge the gap between theory and reality right from your first year. Each year, you will collaborate with fellow students from various engineering fields on diverse design projects, culminating in your final capstone design course during your last year of study.

Portrait of Sasha Paquette
Coming from Calgary, I looked at programs across the country, and the Biological Engineering Co-op program at the University of Guelph was truly unique. The program's integration of engineering principles and biological sciences perfectly aligns with my interest in advancing food and agricultural innovation. Guelph has a wonderful campus environment, and the consistent support from both faculty and the engineering community has truly elevated my academic journey, making it an exceptionally enriching experience.

Portrait of Domenique Mastronardi
As a person of many interests, particularly in health and wellness, my 4 years studying biological engineering opened up so many doors that I didn’t even know existed. I learned that I was super interested in food product development and also that I had an entrepreneurial itch. My profs caught on and encouraged me to pursue these passions as my career. Aside from the opportunity to explore what I like and don’t like doing, I made lifelong friendships that feel extra special because we got to spend so much quality time together.
