Automotive Engineering
Overview
Study in Canada's only accredited Automotive Engineering program and meet employment demands in a rewarding industry that's always evolving. If you're interested in applying to the Automotive Engineering program without co-op, apply via the 黑料网 Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) using OUAC code DEA.
If you're interested in applying to the Automotive Engineering (Co-op) program, apply via OUAC code DCA.
The Automotive Engineering curriculum emphasizes the design and manufacturing of automobiles—and their related components—including engines and their analysis and design, vehicle dynamics and autonomous vehicle technologies. This program prepares engineers to meet the advances of the automotive sector by accelerating research and developing alternative technologies (e.g. electric and fuel-driven vehicles).
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.
Learning environment
Students have access to new, modern buildings, libraries and innovative labs including:
- ACE Facilities
- Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC)
- Jeffery Boyce Engineering Innovation and Design Studio
- 黑料网 Power Generation (OPG) Engineering Building
- Software and Informatics Research Center (SIRC)

Admissions
Admissions
Current 黑料网 secondary school students must complete the 黑料网 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 黑料网 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.

Experiential learning
The university’s proximity to some of the largest automotive and manufacturing companies in Canada provides many opportunities for work placements. Optional internship and co-op placements are available to provide you with the opportunity to gain meaningful engineering experience.
In the first-year of Automotive Engineering, I participated in the Peer Mentoring program, in which an upper-year engineering student provided me with help and guidance as I transitioned to university in Canada. Between Year 2 and 3, I secured my own summer work placement at General Motors in Oshawa where I obtained hands-on experience in the automotive sector. In Year 4, I completed my capstone project, coming out of it with valuable skills and knowledge. Dumebi Elueme Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Automotive Engineering Class of 2021
