The co-operative (co-op) & internship program offers engineering students 8, 12 & 16 months of paid, full-time on-the-job experience, to develop skills, build professional connections and gain confidence in their chosen discipline.
The Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OSMS) focuses on engineering and operations management, operations research, finance and organizational behaviour and prepares students for engineering leadership.
The Accelerated Masters of Applied Science Pathway helps research-minded students, who have a minimum CGPA of A-, earn a Master of Applied Sciences up to one year earlier.
A Professional Engineer (P.Eng) License (external link) is a professional designation for engineering graduates through Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). Graduates can choose to pursue this license, subject to PEO requirements, because our program is accredited.
The first year transition program is designed to help students who may be struggling with the pace of university learning, have missed credits, or need to improve their academic standing. This program ensures that students have the tools and guidance they need to succeed and remain on track in their studies.
In the first and second years, students learn engineering fundamentals, like calculus, physics, and electric circuit analysis, electric and magnetic fields, and basic electronics.
In the third and fourth years, students gain specialized knowledge in such topics as electric energy conversion, signal processing, control theory, communication systems, electromagnetics, microcomputer systems, electric power devices and systems, and microwaves. Students can choose to pursue valuable, paid work experience in an optional co-operative internship program or research internship.
In the final year, students further specialize in their field of interest and collaborate with peers on a comprehensive design project, further training them to be well-equipped to launch careers and become leaders of tomorrow. Full course descriptions are available on the undergraduate calendar.
