Automotive Engineering

Study in Canada's only accredited Automotive Engineering program and meet employment demands in a rewarding industry that's always evolving.

If you're interested in applying to the Automotive Engineering program without co-op, apply via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) using OUAC code DEA. 

If you're interested in applying to the Automotive Engineering (Co-op) program, apply via OUAC code DCA. 

The Automotive Engineering curriculum emphasizes the design and manufacturing of automobiles—and their related components—including engines and their analysis and design, vehicle dynamics, and autonomous vehicle technologies. This program prepares engineers to meet the advances of the automotive sector by accelerating research and developing alternative technologies (e.g. electric and fuel-driven vehicles).

Foundation year

All Engineering students begin with a common foundation year, regardless of the program of study. During the foundation year, you will learn about the various Engineering programs available. 

Engineering and Management

There is a need for engineers with management skills. Complement the technical studies of your Engineering program with business and management courses by pursuing the five-year Bachelor of Engineering and Management (Honours) program.

Learning environment

Students have access to new, modern buildings, libraries and innovative labs including: 

• Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC)
• Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Engineering Building
• Software and Informatics Research Center (SIRC)
• Jeffery Boyce Engineering Innovation and Design Studio
• ACE Facilities

All applicants to full-time undergraduate programs should apply in one of two ways; choose only one.

Option one:

The OUAC online application system allows you to apply to multiple Ontario universities or programs with one application. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Apply online using the OUAC website using the 105 application.
2. Be sure to apply by the application deadline for the program to which you want to be admitted—you can choose up to three programs.
3. Once the university receives your application from the OUAC, we will send you information regarding the next steps in the admissions process.

Option two:

If you are only applying to Ontario Tech, apply internally at ontariotechu.ca/internationalapplication. You can apply to three programs for a $100 application fee.

Note:If you're a student with a disability and want to be considered for admission on the basis of disability, please visit our special considerations page.
