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.

Manufacturing Engineering

Developed in consultation with industry, Ontario Tech University’s manufacturing engineering curriculum provides a solid grounding in the fundamentals of mathematics, computing, and science, with significant content in engineering sciences and design. The only accredited program of its kind in Canada, this unique program emphasizes the design, development, planning, improvement, and application of advanced manufacturing processes.

You’ll learn about advances in materials and composites, robotics, automation, and intelligent controls while considering the integration between tools, processes, and equipment with cutting-edge manufacturing facilities and systems. In addition to classroom lectures, students participate in tutorials, laboratories, computer simulations, field visits, and research and design projects.

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

Will access to 3D printers change the way consumers are able to quickly make their ideas come to life?
With advances in robotics and automation, how can manufacturers redesign their facilities to be more cost effective?
How will additive, subtractive and traditional manufacturing reshape the manufacturing industry?
How does the need for environmentally friendly processes drive the future of manufacturing?
