The Engineering and Management combination programs meet the rapidly increasing need for engineers with the leadership skills to succeed in business and management. Students study the complete engineering program, and also gain critical management skills in key areas of business including accounting, finance, operations, human resources and marketing. Students in these programs take two semesters of business and management courses for 30 credit hours after successfully completing third year. The regular fourth year of the engineering program is then taken in year five of the program. The two semesters of business and management courses may be taken at other years in the program with permission.

Graduates of the engineering and management programs will be in high demand among employers in Ontario and beyond, working in areas of research, development, design, maintenance and operations in a variety of industries and services including transportation (especially automotive and aerospace), heavy and precision machinery, robotics, information/telecommunications, electronics, computer, energy, chemical, construction and other sectors. With additional expertise in business and management, graduates of these programs will have a broader understanding of the business and management aspects of companies, allowing them to readily take on managerial roles or start their own business. Graduates may also choose to pursue further studies toward higher degrees. The courses in the business and management year may be creditable towards the course requirements of advanced degrees such as an MBA.
