Program overview

The MEng in Industrial Engineering is a course-based program for practicing engineers who want to enhance their knowledge, analytical skills and ability to solve complex technological problems. With an international reputation and world-class research programs, our Department is at the forefront of research and graduate training in Canada. You will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories and established research centres in a department that promotes interdisciplinary research in industrial control, computer-aided vehicle engineering, composites and computational fluid dynamics. This program combines course work with the option to complete one or more projects. Students interested in pursuing a doctorate should apply to the MASc program instead.
