Programs
Currently, there are a total of 13 undergraduate programs available through the faculty. These include Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Geological, Management, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Nanotechnology, Software and Systems Design Engineering as well as Architecture. Each of Waterloo Engineering's eight academic units (schools and departments) also offers graduate degrees.
Within these 13 programs of engineering, there are many options that can be taken in the later years of the undergraduate studies. These options allow the faculty of engineering to branch out even more and present more opportunities to the prospective engineering students. Some options include mechanical, computer, electrical, or control systems for the Mechatronics Engineering program.
The Nanotechnology Engineering program was added in Fall 2005 as a more research-oriented program and to support the university's nanotechnology research. The newest undergraduate program is Management Engineering, offered through the Department of Management Sciences, introduced in Fall 2007. According to the Vision 2010 Plan, there are talks of new disciplines such as Architectural Engineering and Biomedical Engineering

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
