The Bachelor of Engineering, Integrated Engineering program addresses the ongoing digital revolution in engineering driven by technologies such as AI, robotics, digital twins, data analytics, augmented reality, and beyond. At the same time, new areas of focus such as sustainability, diversity, inclusion, and collaboration are driving new engineering priorities. This revolution is transforming traditional engineering fields, driving engineers to be more flexible and inter- and multi-disciplinary in their approach. The Integrated Engineering program is tailor-made to address these new demands on engineering careers. Our students will gain a grounding in core engineering practices and the necessary interdisciplinary outlook to make a significant impact in the engineering fields of the future.

The Integrated Engineering program will consider the challenges of the future by structuring learning around the following four principal themes:

1. Feeding the World - Agri/food-tech, environment, water, bio commodities, bioremediation;
2. Shaping the Future - robotic automation, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation logistics, energy frontiers, human augmentation;
3. Connecting the World - big data, deep learning, artificial intelligence, fintech, hyper-connectivity, cybersecurity;
4. Creating Healthy Communities - medical devices, well-being, smart/compassionate cities, sustainability, climate change.

At the core of Integrated Engineering is a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and engaging in a curriculum that seamlessly combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experiences, preparing students for the complexities of real-world problem-solving.

Program Notes

1. Students wishing to proceed to year 2 as a BEng major must have achieved a minimum 60 percent overall average
2. In years 2 and 3, as a component of their program, BEng students participate in a mini-project in Integrated Design (i.e., one per semester).
3. ENGR 1N00 (self-directed, online via LMS) is the co-requisite course for the ENGR 1P01; which should be completed successfully by the end of the first semester.
4. Co-op Option 1: Commences in the Spring session after completion of Year 2, Term 2 and concludes in the spring session of Year 4 (i.e., Spring, Fall, Winter, Spring); it is 16 months in total.
5. Co-op Option 2: This option has two 8-month durations, the first placement commences in the Spring session after completion of Year 2, and concludes in the Fall session of Year 3. The second placement commences in the Winter session of Year 4 and concludes in the Spring session of Year 5, resulting in a total placement of 16 months.
6. Students opting for the Co-op track must fulfill a minimum requirement of 12 months of Co-op Work Term completion.
7. To satisfy all required degree learning outcomes BEng requires students to complete a total of 21 credits (i.e., 5 credits in years 1,2, and 4, 6 credits in year 3. A maximum of eight credits may be numbered 1(alpha)00 to 1(alpha)99; at least three credits must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above; at least three credits must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above; and the remaining credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above.
