Engineering at Western or Mac (McGill)

[Spencer Kelly]

I am looking to apply to western for engineering ( go into mechatronics) and do a concurrent engineering and physics degree. Basically what that is, is a regular 4 year degree with a 5th year of pure physics. You then receive a bachelor of engineering and a physics major.

I am also looking at applying to mac for engineering physics and management. I would most likely specialise in power systems.

I have also entertained doing an honours physics at McGill, but I am worried about job opportunities

I am then hoping to do a masters in physics. I have been told that you can get into a grad school for physics with these degrees, I am just wondering how difficult it would be. Which is the better route in your opinion. Do you have any better ideas from other Schools. I am also wondering what school has more research opportunities for undergrads. Please give any suggestions you can. Thanks.

The best route for you depends on the kind of career you want to pursue. It's important to consider the opportunities that each school offers in terms of research, internships, and industry partnerships. Each university has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it would be best to research each in detail to identify which one is the right fit for you.If you are looking for research opportunities as an undergraduate, then McGill is probably the best option. They have a strong physics department and offer many research opportunities for undergraduates. Western and Mac also offer some research opportunities, but they tend to focus more on practical engineering applications.For graduate school, any of the three universities you mentioned should be sufficient. It is important to remember that the admissions process for grad school is quite competitive, so it is important to make sure your undergrad degree is as strong as possible. Make sure you take advantage of any research or internship opportunities available to you.
