Advanced Design and Manufacturing - MEngDM

Overview

The Advanced Design and Manufacturing Institute (ADMI) is a joint program in design and manufacturing offered at the master's level. It is offered through the joint efforts of five Ontario universities: University of Toronto, McMaster University, Queen’s University, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Western Ontario. The joint nature of the program ensures that the very best expertise available at each of the participating schools is integrated into the program’s course offerings.

Within the University of Toronto, the degree designation is Master of Engineering in Design and Manufacturing. The joint program, fully described on www.admicanada.com, is structured to address the engineering design, manufacturing, and management expertise and knowledge base required by young graduate professionals actively engaged within industry, government, and business.

Due to the part-time modular nature of the program, it is available only to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. The program allows individuals to participate in graduate studies over four-day weekend periods that can be effectively incorporated into a regular working schedule. The ADMI courses are offered at various locations within southern Ontario, typically Toronto, Waterloo, Mississauga, Hamilton, and London. Courses are offered throughout the year and do not conform to the regular university semester structures.
