Overview

Student and professor in teaching lab. Explore your options in your generic first year, before committing to an area of focus, to ensure you find your fit in the engineering world.

This option is intended for those who are undecided on which engineering program they want to take. Prior to year 2, you're required to apply to change* to one of the following engineering programs:

  • Automotive Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Energy Engineering
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Manufacturing Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Mechatronics Engineering
  • Nuclear Engineering
  • Software Engineering

*Changing programs is competitive; admission is not guaranteed to your program of choice and you may be placed in another engineering program if you do not meet the requirements. 

Learning environment

Students have access to new, modern buildings, libraries and innovative labs including: 

  • ACE Climatic Wind Tunnel
  • Clean Energy Research Laboratory (CERL)
  • Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC)
  • Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Engineering Building

Admissions

Admissions


Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U) with a minimum grade of 60 per cent, Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and Physics (SPH4U). In addition, a combined minimum 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required, with no grade below 60 per cent. 

Note: Admission is competitive. The specific average or standing required for admission varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken and performance in subjects relevant to the academic program. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications.
