Manufacturing Engineering at the New University of Ontario Institute of Technology

摘要

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) (www.uoit.ca) was created in June 2002 and is the first new university in Ontario in almost 40 years. The first buildings to be ready by September 2003. The University is publicly funded and has the same degree granting powers as other Ontario universities. Most of the University's programming will be in professional programs. Two of the inaugural programs will be in engineering, with the others being Integrated Justice Studies, Education, Nursing, Biological Science, Physical Science and Radiation Science. The two undergraduate engineering programs, being launched in September 2003, are Manufacturing Engineering and Nuclear Engineering. Both lead to the Bachelor of Engineering degree and are four-years in duration. Plans are underway to make 12-16 month optional industrial internship opportunities available to students. Hiring of faculty and staff is now underway. Here, the Manufacturing Engineering program is described. As UOIT grows and evolves, more undergraduate programs will be added. Several new engineering programs are being planned. In addition, graduate and postgraduate programs, as well as world-class research opportunities, will be developed. The initial projected enrolment of 1300 is expected to reach 6,500 by 2010.
