Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Industrial Engineering

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. The skill sets that Industrial Engineers acquire are versatile. This allows them to engage in many different activities such as supply chain management, quality assurance, and project management. 

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. 

Consider Industrial Engineering if you find yourself asking questions such as:

  • What impact do artificial intelligence and machine learning have on major industries? 
  • How can you implement innovative integrated systems of people, knowledge, and equipment with financial effectiveness? 
  • How do you verify that data is correct? 
  • What does the concept of total quality control refer to and is it achievable?
