Overview

Student in computer lab. Learn to design, develop and manage smart interconnected devices. You'll learn to integrate hardware and software, handle big data, and create scalable Internet of Things systems for diverse applications.

With growing market demand, software engineering is one of Canada's newest engineering disciplines; however, there are few software engineering programs in Canada. At Â鶹´«Ã½ University, our Software Engineering program focuses on the design of computer software and is exposed to software design for embedded systems, enterprise and mobile systems, distributed systems, real-time control systems, multi-media and man-machine interfaces. 

Courses including software design, user interfaces, advanced networks, and design and analysis of algorithms prepare graduates for successful careers in the software engineering field.

The Internet of Things (IoT) specialization offers specialized technical courses on design and analysis of IoT software systems, connecting IoT devices and services to the cloud, sensor data collection and analysis and mobile programming.

Foundation year

All engineering students begin with a common foundation year, regardless of the program of study. During the foundation year, you will learn about the various engineering programs available. 

Engineering and Management

There is a need for engineers with management skills. Complement the technical studies of your engineering program with business and management courses by pursuing the five-year Bachelor of Engineering and Management (Honours) program.

Women in Engineering

A multi-year support program to help female engineering students explore opportunities and careers, gain experience in the workforce, make a successful transition to a career in engineering and find lifelong success in a professional engineering career. 

Women for STEM scholarships available for eligible female students

Learning environment

Students have access to new, modern buildings, libraries and innovative labs, including:

  • Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC)
  • Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Engineering Building
  • Software and Informatics Research Center (SIRC)
  • Jeffery Boyce Engineering Innovation and Design Studio
  • ACE Facilities

 

Direct-entry co-op program

This program has a direct-entry co-op option that you can apply for directly on your Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) application.

Our co-op positions are full-time, paid employment opportunities providing students with a steady income stream throughout their studies.

Admissions

Admissions


Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U) with a minimum grade of 60 per cent, Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U), and Physics (SPH4U). In addition, a combined minimum 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required, with no grade below 60 per cent. Applicants with credentials from outside Ontario should visit the Admissions section.

Note: Admission is competitive. The specific average or standing required for admission varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjects relevant to the academic program. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications.
