Welcome to Memorial University's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science

A place where bold ideas, cutting-edge technology, and real-world impact come together to shape our next generation of engineers and support our sustainable community in a rapidly evolving world!

Engineering goes beyond equations and blueprints – it’s about tackling the world’s toughest challenges and building a better, shared future. From creating sustainable communities and industries to advancing intelligent operations and systems, engineers drive innovation and change. Here at Memorial, we don’t just prepare students for the future – we empower them to build it sound and sustainably. Our programs combine top-tier technical training with leadership, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, ensuring our graduates are ready to solve global challenges head-on. 

Our faculty is home to a dynamic range of engineering disciplines, including civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, mechatronics, process, and ocean and naval architectural engineering. And we’re growing! With new programs in software engineering, artificial intelligence, mechatronics engineering, and sustainable infrastructure engineering, we’re continuously evolving to support industry growth and stay ahead of technological advancements. As one of the top engineering schools in Canada, we have 7 undergraduate and 23 graduate programs in these disciplines. Over 2,000 students worldwide are learning and growing in a vibrant, inclusive, stimulating, and forward-thinking environment.

A defining advantage of studying engineering at Memorial is our renowned co-op program, one of Canada’s oldest engineering co-operative education programs with over 60 years of proud history. Work-integrated learning is built into our undergraduate degrees, giving students hands-on industry experience with leading companies across Canada and beyond. This means you’ll graduate with a degree and a resume packed with real-world work experience, making you a top candidate for the job market. We have also expanded work-integrated learning opportunities for course-based master’s students, ensuring that every graduate is career-ready. If you dream of turning your ideas into a product or a business, our Student Design Hub or Memorial Centre for Entrepreneurship (ranked among the world’s top emerging entrepreneurship centers) provides mentorship, resources, and funding to help bring your vision to life.

Our cutting-edge facilities give students access to the latest technology and research. Our labs are designed for hands-on learning and discovery, such as autonomous ocean systems, remote sensing, optical and wireless communications, robotics, energy innovations, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, computer-aided design/control/drilling technology, safety and risk management, and environmental bio-/nano-technology. The state-of-the-art Core Science Facility is just one example of our commitment to providing world-class learning spaces.

At Memorial, you’ll learn from some of the brightest minds in the field. Our faculty has many internationally recognized researchers who hold prestigious research chair positions, such as Canada Excellence Research Chair, Canada Research Chairs (Tier 1 and 2), and UArctic Chair, and other eminent titles such as fellows or members of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the Engineering Institute of Canada, and the Royal Society of Canada, and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, and the world’s top 2% researchers by Stanford University. Numerous faculty members receive various research, teaching and service awards at institutional, national and international levels. You won’t just be learning from professors – you’ll be mentored by the pioneers shaping the future of engineering.

We’re also committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community where all students, faculty and staff can thrive together. Engineering needs bold thinkers and doers from all backgrounds, and we are dedicated to supporting our people in an environment that values equity, diversity, and inclusion.
