Emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing

manufacturing-button

The manufacturing sector has long been a strategic driver of societal wealth creation, and thereby has affected improvements to standards of living and quality of life. Central to this sector are disruptive technologies that will drive forward dramatic changes in manufacturing over the next 10-20 years.

The Emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing is sponsored by the Toronto Institute for Advanced Manufacturing, and was developed to expose Master of Engineering students to topics in advanced manufacturing. MEng students can choose to take courses from either of two streams: Manufacturing Management and Manufacturing Engineering.

The Emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing is available to MEng students in any of four departments in the Faculty (Aerospace, Chemical, Mechanical & Industrial, and Materials Science). Students should be able to complete the Emphasis requirements within the requirements of their MEng program.

Students who complete the requirements of the Emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing will have the Emphasis transcribed on their transcript instead of a certificate.

Requirements

MEng students can earn an Emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing by completing four courses, including at least one core course. The remaining three courses may be other core courses, or any of the elective courses in either the Manufacturing Management stream or the Manufacturing Engineering stream. There is no requirement that the courses be chosen from just one stream.

Students who complete the requirements of the emphasis will have their emphasis transcribed on their transcript.

If you have questions about this emphasis, please contact tiam@utoronto.ca.

Some courses may satisfy the requirements of multiple emphases. Students may double-count a maximum of one course towards the requirements of any two emphases.

Students cannot earn more than two emphases.

Elective courses

Manufacturing Management stream

Manufacturing Management courses are for students who seek to move into positions of leadership in industry. Students will obtain fundamental knowledge and develop an understanding of the operational complexity of enterprises, innovation management, manufacturing and business process improvement/optimization, and integrated product/process/system design. In addition, students will develop the cognitive skills to critically evaluate the potential benefits of alternative manufacturing strategies; to use virtual/simulated platforms to facilitate and improve business processes; and to analyze enterprise systems as interacting units, components, and subsystems.
