Overview

Students in teaching lab.

Industrial engineering is an engineering discipline that integrates several branches of engineering education with the objective of optimizing and improving complex engineering processes, systems or organizations. This is achieved by implementing innovative integrated systems of people, knowledge and equipment with financial effectiveness.

If you're interested in applying to the Industrial Engineering program without co-op, apply via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) using OUAC code DEI. 

If you're interested in applying to the Industrial Engineering (Co-op) program, apply via OUAC code DCR. 

Graduates of the Industrial Engineering program will have the expertise to work, analyze and manage the work of others in areas of research, development, design, analysis, maintenance and operations.

Foundation year

All engineering students begin with a common foundation year, regardless of the program of study. During the foundation year, you will learn about the various engineering programs available. 

Engineering and Management

There is a need for engineers with management skills. Complement the technical studies of your engineering program with business and management courses by pursuing the five-year Bachelor of Engineering and Management (Honours) program.

Women in Engineering

A multi-year support program to help female engineering students explore opportunities and careers, gain experience in the workforce, make a successful transition to a career in engineering and find lifelong success in a professional engineering career.  View more information about our Women in Engineering program.

Women for STEM scholarships available for eligible female students

Learning environment

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

  • ACE Facilities
  • Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC)
  • Jeffery Boyce Engineering Innovation and Design Studio
  • Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Engineering Building
  • Software and Informatics Research Center (SIRC)

Direct-entry co-op program

This program has a direct-entry co-op option that you can apply for directly on your Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) application.

Our co-op positions are full-time, paid employment opportunities providing students with a steady income stream throughout their studies.

Learn more about how you can unleash your career potential with paid co-op.


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 of 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required, with no grade below 60 percent. 

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.
