Both University of Calgary and University of Western Ontario are prestigious Canadian universities. They are members of U15, Canada's top university league. In terms of rankings, University of Western Ontario is slightly ahead of University of Calgary. Based on QS World Rankings, UWO is 173rd UofC is 214th. Based on sponsored research income, UofC is Canada's 8th while UWO is 10th. According to Time University Education, both universities are in the 226-250 bracket. Based on AWRU, both universities are in the 8-17th bracket in Canada and in the 201-300 bracket in the world. UofC is a good biological and medical science school UWO is famous for social sciences.

@Divyazabi: USask has a very big facility for vaccine technology. One of the biggest in North America. So if you're planning to be involved in this area of biomedical sciences, then USask is a very good university for you. USask is also a member of the U15 so getting admission from this university is quite a big deal already, although its ranking in QS is lower compared to UofC and UWO.

@Ned09: Engineering is best taught in UofToronto, UBC and Waterloo. But both schools have good programs on engineering. UofC has a very competitive degree on petroleum engineering. I'm not sure which school has a better program on electrical engineering...

I ll tell frankly that UWO is better than UOC for ECE. From the feedback of many of friends in FB university of Calgary is no big deal when compared with their friends in UOW. Also, UOC is famous for its biomedical and medical degress (also Law) and UOW is quite good in ECE (offers robotics as well). but this is purely based on feedback from fb friends. And I do believe them :p

@Arun_Kumar: Your friends will surely say UWO has a better ECE program than UofC because they are studying in UWO.... just kidding... LOL! But maybe you're right. Every school has its 'specialization'. UofC tends to enhance their biology, medical and law programs and UWO on social sciences like economics (and maybe engineering)...

@Ned09: Maybe you can check out their program websites and see the focus of their ECE programs. Then just choose which university offers the areas of your interest. Regardless of which university you attend in the future, you'll have better opportunities since you finished a degree in one of the U15.
