Overview of the Bachelor of Engineering Program
Engineering technology is a field of study that focuses on the applications of engineering and modern technology in areas such as product improvement, manufacturing, construction, and engineering operational functions. The University of Windsor’s Faculty of Engineering has launched a new program in Engineering Technology that will prepare its grads for the job market.
This is a program for you if you meet one of the following requirements:
a) A three-year technology diploma from a Canadian college (or an equivalent overseas Institution)
b) An engineering degree from an accredited Canadian university (or an equivalent overseas institution)
c) A four-year university degree in a scientific or technical subject from a Canadian University (or an equivalent overseas institution)
Reasons to choose a degree in Engineering Technology
a) You want to upgrade your college education by taking university-level courses
b) You want to gain a North American educational experience
c) You want to improve your job search endeavour by combining the practical college experience with a
more in-depth university education
Common employment positions for graduates include product design, testing, development, systems engineering, field engineering, technical operations, and quality control.
Normally at least a 70% average from your completed college diploma or equivalent. Because of the limited number of seats available a 75% average is recommended.
a) On a full-time basis, it can be completed in three consecutive semesters (i.e. one full year.).
b) International students normally complete the degree in a minimum of four terms.
c) The maximum duration for completion of the degree is four years
Co-op opportunities may be available in the future.
Degree requirements and courses
You must take at least 15 engineering courses (six 200-level courses, five 300-level courses, and four 400-level courses.) Your course schedule will be set and discussed by an academic advisor to ensure your successful completion of the program. The nature of these depends on the concentration in a college diploma or previous university degree. In order to graduate from the program a minimum grade point average of 5.0 is needed. The maximum grade point average at the University of Windsor is 13.
