Plenty of job opportunities
The job outlook for engineers is excellent these days, and most engineering fields are expected to experience solid growth over the next five years. The demand for mining and petroleum engineers is predicted to be particularly high due to increasing oil, natural gas, and mineral production.
Canada’s aging workforce will likely also contribute to the increase in engineering jobs. With many Baby Boomers set to retire over the next five to ten years, companies will need to recruit both junior and senior-level engineers to fill the void
The availability of so many different branches of engineering means that you can achieve a moderate degree of specialization even before you finish your undergrad – making it that much easier to land a job.
