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:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“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)
