Master Programme
Mechanical Engineering
Ontario Tech offers a 16-month course-based MEng and a 24-month research MASc in Mechanical Engineering, with design, energy and mechatronics fields. Students can study the whole discipline or focus on one of three fields: Design (design and innovation, CAD/CAE/CAM, machine design and solid mechanics), Energy and Thermofluids Engineering (renewable energy, hydrogen, engines, gas turbines, power plants and HVAC), or Mechatronics and Manufacturing Engineering. Topics range from robotics, automation and controls to heat transfer and fluid mechanics. The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a 16-month professional degree of 10 courses (30 credits), with an optional project route, for engineers who want to upgrade their skills. The Master of Applied Science (MASc) combines five courses with a thesis and research seminar and prepares graduates for research and development work or a PhD.

Tuition Information
International: MEng: CAD 4,693.57 per 3-credit course (CAD 1,564.52 per credit) in 2026-2027; the degree needs 30 credits, so tuition is about CAD 46,936 at this year's rate, normally over 16 months. MASc: CAD 22,313.12 a year in tuition (Ontario Tech's 2026-2027 international flat fee, CAD 7,437.71 a term), charged in all three terms (fall, winter and spring) for as long as you are registered, so about CAD 44,626 over the standard 24 months at this year's rate. Graduate students also pay ancillary fees each term (health and dental plan, legal protection, virtual doctor, sports and recreation and other services) and students in fee-per-credit programs who need extra terms to finish a project, major paper or thesis pay a continuation fee. These are Ontario Tech's 2026-2027 international rates; fees for 2027-2028 had not been published and are subject to change without notice
Admission Requirements
- A four-year honours undergraduate engineering degree in a relevant field from an accredited engineering program at a Canadian university, or the equivalent from a recognized institution
- Minimum overall academic standing of B (GPA 3.0 on a 4.3 scale, or 73-76%), with at least a B average in the last two full-time years (four semesters) of undergraduate study, or the equivalent. B+ is preferred for the MASc. MASc applicants are admitted to a research program and work with a faculty supervisor
- All MEng students start in the course-based option and can ask to move to the project option after at least one term if a faculty member agrees to supervise the project
- English proficiency: a test is not needed if you studied full-time for at least three years in a university degree program taught and examined in English, or completed such a degree (ESL study does not count). Otherwise: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT (tests from 21 January 2026) 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0, or for earlier tests 83 overall with Listening 20, Reading 20, Speaking 19 and Writing 20 (MyBest scores are not accepted); TOEFL paper-based 560; or CAEL 70 with no sub-score below 60.
