<p>I'm interested in knowing how Canadian universities, specifically a few I looked at in Ontario, compare to their American counterparts? I'm looking at Waterloo, Toronto, Queen's, McMaster, and Western.</p>
<p>I heard that Waterloo is only good for ECE, and other disciplines seem to be underfunded, while McMaster, Queen's, and Toronto are much more even. I'm not sure about Western. I've been told that it's only average. </p>
<p>BTW, I'm interested in chemical engineering.</p>
<p>Why would you want to go to Ontario? I thought Waterloo was the best when it comes to engineering (any and/or all) in Canada, but then again, I'm no engineer.</p>
<p>Read the second comment regarding Waterloo.</p>
<p>Hmmm... Many Canadian Universities rank very high internationally for different things. Waterloo is the top Engineering School, followed by Toronto and Alberta. Waterloo is definitely popular for it's ECE program. I'm not sure how they rank in terms of Chemical Engineering, but it would probably be similar.</p>
<p>Queen's and McMaster are not as good for Engineering. Queen's is the top business school in Canada, and ranks very high internationally.</p>
<p>Really? I've actually been told that Queen's and McMaster are some of the top schools for engineering aside from Toronto and Waterloo. In fact, I've been told that both Queen's and McMaster rival Waterloo for chemical engineering, if not better than Waterloo.</p>
<p>I've always been told that it goes:
1) Waterloo
2) Toronto
3) Alberta</p>
<p>And I've even spoken to an employer about this... (I know one); but I don't know the breakdown for different kinds of engineering. McMaster and Queen's will be top, but will trail Waterloo, Toronto, and Alberta overall(from what I've heard).</p>
<p>Waterloo seems to be seen as a strong engineering program in general, but several students told me that other than ECE, Waterloo is pretty average. I'm receiving many conflicting information.</p>
<p>Waterloo is probably the best in most Engineering programs and Math programs. The math faculty at Waterloo is very well known. Infact, RIM(Research In Motion) recruits most of its students from there and the faculty is also heavily funded by Mike Lazardis(co-founder of RIM).</p>
