The Faculty of Engineering is one of the constituent faculties of the McGill University in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in chemical, civil, computer, software, electrical, mechanical, metals and materials, and mining engineering, as well as architecture and urban planning. The faculty also teaches courses in bio-resource engineering (Faculty of Agriculture) and in biomedical engineering (Faculty of Medicine) at the masters level.

The faculty includes five departments and two schools.

Established in 1871, the mining engineering program is the oldest in Canada.[1] It is the oldest program of its kind in North America, followed closely by the one offered at Colorado School of Mines, established in 1874.

McGill was the first university in Canada to give instruction in Applied Science. Out of this legacy grew today's faculty of engineering.
