<p>I am not that familiar with Canadian universities. Engineering students I know generally prefer Toronto or Waterloo. If you were to rank Canadian schools for Engineering, where would McGill be placed? Is it even top 5?</p>
<p>Schmaltz … i have checked out those unis, waterloo ill go only if they give me more aid cuz life there is very boring, and as far as UofT is concerned … its more expensive than McGill what i have heard is that there isnt much of a difference between McGill and university of toronto in mechanical engineering. what do you say?</p>
<p>and yes where does McGill stand in engineering rankings in canada?</p>
<p>At Waterloo, you may be able to pay for most of your educational expenses through the co-op program, in addition to the experience gained.</p>
<p>“As a co-op student at Waterloo, you’ll have 16 to 24 months of work experience and $42,000 to $74,000 in potential earnings by the time you graduate.”</p>
<p>UofT and U Waterloo are on their own playing field in Canada. Both are exceptional. McGill is really not as well-known for engineering, but it has greater name recognition at large (if you care about that kind of prestige). I would probably rank them like this (based on personal research, both hard data and opinions):</p>
<ol>
<li>UofT</li>
<li>Waterloo</li>
<li>UBC</li>
<li>Queen’s</li>
<li>Alberta</li>
<li>McGill</li>
</ol>
<p>How good is the University of Calgary in engineering? I know they have a good chemical & petroleum engineering department … but how good is their overall engineering program in relation to the six on your list?</p>
<p>^ Pretty decent. Schulich (the U Calgary engineering school) has fairly high entrance stats, at least when compared to the relatively low averages at the rest of the school. On the downside, U Alberta is better known and receives more funding/emphasis, and U Calgary mostly attracts students from the Calgary area (the petroleum and geomatics departments are possible exceptions). On the plus side, I’ve heard that Alberta has better K-12 education than most other provinces.</p>
<p>I guess I would put it below those above as well as McMaster.</p>
