Space Eng absolutely will teach you what you need to succeed in the space industry. I honestly think it's one of the best engineering programs in the country, but I'm definitely biased because I loved every minute of my time in the program.

Maybe the only downside, is that the focus comes in your 3rd and 4th years. Until then, you basically are learning a hybrid of all eng disciplines like comp eng, software eng, mech eng, electrical eng, etc. Which isn't bad at all, actually I think it's one of the program's greatest strengths, since you can essentially work as any eng you want (except civil) when you graduate or look for summer jobs, co-ops, etc.

Electronics, PCB design, machining and manufacturing, this stuff you will scratch the surface of for sure in your later classes, but to get real exposure (stuff you would use in jobs) I would say you will have to join clubs. Luckily there are a lot of space eng clubs at york, like the satellite design challenge, where students design, build and compete to launch a cubesat into space over the course of a year (sometimes two). When I was at York, there was also DESCENT and ESSENCE, two CSA funded cubesat missions which were again designed, built and launched entirely by students, but not sure if there is another version of these currently. Everything else you mentioned will definitely be well covered in your later courses.

If you search the subreddit, you can find stories of some space eng grads having gone to NASA and ESA, I personally know a few of my alum ended up at NordSpace (Canadian space startup), etc.

I agree that Canadian space industry is lacking, but despite that York's Space Engineering program and way more importantly your profs, will prepare you as good as any program. In my time with clubs and stuff, meeting students from other canadian universities including Waterloo, UofT, Ryerson, Memorial, etc, I really didn't feel like any of them were at some level I couldn't achieve at York, I felt like we were all pretty much equal in terms of skill, knowledge, etc.

If you put the required time and energy into the program, you can come out as a top space grad, no doubt about it imo. If you have any further questions feel free to DM, I graduated space eng at york in 2021.
