Course Description

Program Overview The Advanced Design and Manufacturing Institute, ADMI, created through the partnership of four leading Ontario universities, presents a unique, innovative learning experience through a new Master of Engineering in Design and Manufacturing with emphasis on business and management. This exciting program is designed to provide practicing engineers the enhanced knowledge, tools, technology as well as business and management skills, necessary to keep them at the forefront of their profession. ADMI is the creative result of innovative thinking and leadership from the engineering and business schools of McMaster University, Queens University, the University of Toronto and Western University. ADMI is broadly endorsed and supported by Ontario industry, as reflected in the impressive list of companies represented by participants in the ADMI program. ADMI Vision To create a new generation of Canadian design and manufacturing engineers with the ability and mindset to propel Ontario Industry into a world leadership position. The collective resources of partner universities and industry are leveraged to provide participants with access to an integrated program of world-class technology, expertise and experience, leading academic training from partner universities and associates, together with innovative technology applications, experiences and best business practices from some of Canada s leading companies. Program Structure The ADMI program is presented in a focused, time-compressed modular format designed to allow practicing engineers to pursue a Masters Degree while continuing to work at their present jobs. Each course is presented as a set of two 4-day-weekend modules; each module involves approximately 30 hours of lectures, discussion and application work. The schedule is designed so that each course module is separated by a 6-week (approximate) interval to facilitate the learning process and to allow for selected projects and assignments to be undertaken. ADMI courses are structured to include a variety of elements including classroom lectures and discussions, case studies, guest speakers, company visits and practical industrial applications, individual coaching and group interaction. ADMI program course scheduling requires participants to dedicate four consecutive days of focused participation in a specific course module. Course modules run Thursday through Sunday. Scheduling of Thursday and Friday requires employers to contribute two full days of time for their employee to participate in the course, recognizing that the employee is contributing his or her personal time to participate on Saturday and Sunday. This commitment to shared-time for participation by employer and employee is seen as a very attractive feature of the ADMI program.
