Open All Close All

Admission Information

O.S.S.D. with six Grade 12 U/M courses including Grade 12 U courses in: English, Advanced Functions (MHF4U),
Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Physics (SPH4U) and Chemistry (SCH4U).

Notes:

1. ENG4U/EAE4U is the preferred English.

2. The grade(s) required in the subject prerequisites (normally in the 70 percent range) will be
determined subject to competition.
3. Subject to competition, candidates may be required to present averages/grades above the
minimum.

Program Overview/Curriculum Information

The first year of study introduces the student to engineering principles and the basics of related disciplines. Core
industrial engineering courses begin in the second year.

In the third and fourth years, students take professional courses in the area of management science and
manufacturing engineering.

Graduates of this program typically find employment in a broad range of industrial, management, and/or
manufacturing careers including: production/inventory control, quality control, operations research, computers and
information systems, decision support systems, facilities planning, project management.

Transition Programs
First Year: The objective of the first year transition program is to provide students, who may need more
time to adapt to the demanding university curriculum, with an immediate opportunity to upgrade their Academic
Standing. In the second semester, Phase I of the transition program offers all first semester core courses:
CHY 102, MTH 140, MTH 141, and PCS 211 in parallel with the second semester regular program courses.
Students who have failed and/or are missing any one of these courses at the end of the first semester are required
to upgrade their Academic Standing through enrolling in the transition program. During the condensed Spring
semester (May-July) Phase II of the transition program offers all second semester core courses: AER 222,
BME 100, CHE 200, CHY 211, CPS 125, CVL 207, ELE 202, MEC 222, MTH 240, MTL 200, and PCS 125. These
courses represent a repeat of the second semester regular program courses that were not taken by students
enrolled in Phase I of the transition program. These courses will be offered subject to adequate enrolment.

Second Year: The second year transition program is intended to help students who have failed or dropped the
second year Fall courses MTH 425, MEC 323 and/or the second year Winter course MEC 311, to stay in-phase
with their classmates and still have a chance to be promoted the third year in the following academic year. This is
accomplished by allowing such students to enrol in MTH 425, MEC 323, and/or MEC 311 in the condensed
Spring/Summer semester (May-July).

Attention: Students are also given the opportunity to complete the following courses through The Chang School of
Continuing Education during both the Spring and Summer terms: CCMN 432 and appropriate lower- and upper-
level liberal studies courses. Only these Chang School courses will be counted toward the student's full-time
Engineering degree program.

Writing Skills Resource Path

All new engineering students are automatically enrolled in CEN 199: Writing Skills.

CEN 199 is graded on a Pass/Fail basis, and is used to track the results of the Writing Skills Test (WST).

All students admitted into engineering are required to write the mandatory Writing Skills Test (WST) during
Orientation Week. Students who pass the WST (by achieving a grade of ‘B' or higher) will receive a PASS in
CEN 199 and therefore may enrol in the lower level liberal studies course of their choice (subject to availability).

12/11/2019 Industrial Engineering - calendars - Ryerson University
Students who do not pass the WST will receive an INP (In Progress Grade) in CEN 199 and will be required to
enrol in one of LNG 111, LNG 112, LNG 113, or LNG 121 as their first-year lower level liberal studies course.
These courses, which count toward lower level liberal studies requirements, are writing-intensive humanities and
social science courses designed to give students the opportunity to strengthen their foundations in communication.
These students will then have three additional opportunities to write and pass the WST:
In May, following 2nd Semester.
During Orientation Week before 3rd Semester.
In May, following 4th Semester.

A PASS in CEN 199: Writing Skills is required to enrol in all third-year engineering courses. Students with a grade
of INP in CEN 199 will not be allowed to enrol in any third-year engineering course.

979-5000 ext. 4261.

Early Intervention Program

Highly innovative and proactive retention strategies play an important role in helping students build the skills for
success in a demanding engineering curriculum. Through the First-Year Engineering Office , the Faculty of
Engineering and Architectural Science has incorporated the Early Intervention Program into the first-year
engineering experience. At the semester's mid-point, students who are failing courses in their core curriculum are
identified and encouraged to attend an interview with a member of our academic support team (Program
Director/Academic Advisor and/or the Student Counsellor). Together, they discuss options to help reduce the
chances of academic failure.

Optional Co-operative Internship Program

Third year students with CLEAR Academic Standing may opt to enrol in the Co-operative Internship. If they are
selected by one of the partner corporations, they spend a period of 12-16 months, from May to September of the
following year, as engineering interns at the corresponding corporations. After the completion of the Co-operative
Internship, students return to the academic program to complete their final year of studies. Enrolment in the Co-
operative Internship extends the program length to five years.

Co-operative Internship students enrol in the course WKT 88A/B: Co-operative Internship Program during the
academic year in which they work as interns. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis. Completion of the Co-
operative Internship Program will be identified on the student's transcript as WKT 88A/B: Co-operative Internship
Program, with the appropriate grade achieved.

Optional Specialization in Engineering Innovation and

Entrepreneurship (OS EIE)
This option provides students with a solid foundation in innovation and entrepreneurship theory as well as the
immersive experience of advancing and shaping an idea into a business. The lecture courses cover principles of
engineering economics, entrepreneurship and innovation management, and technology-based new venture
creation. The practicum will guide students through the process of identifying a new business concept, developing
their technology, and preparing their business for market readiness. For eligibility, registration and course
information see Optional Specialization in Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OS EIE).

Engineering Transfer Credits

Applicants approved into an Engineering program cannot expect to receive any transfer credits in Engineering
discipline or Engineering-related discipline courses if their applicable post-secondary education was not completed
at a program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).

Core and professional engineering course transfer credits will ONLY be granted at the time of admission. An Offer
of Admission will notify the applicant of transfer credit decision(s) subject to acceptance of their Offer.

Liberal studies discipline courses taken at CEAB accredited or non-accredited schools will be considered for either
lower- or upper-level liberal studies transfer credit. College courses, in general, are not eligible for transfer credit
except in the case of lower-level liberal studies courses.

Liberal Studies
Students must take two lower level liberal studies courses and two upper level liberal studies courses to
graduate. Students must not choose courses that are restricted for their program or major.

Please refer to the liberal studies chapter of this calendar for more information on the Liberal Studies Policy.

Accelerated Master of Applied Science (MASc) Pathway

The Accelerated Master of Applied Science (MASc) Pathway is open to undergraduate engineering students who
have demonstrated academic excellence and/or research potential by the end of the third year of their
undergraduate program. Students can enrol in a maximum of two graduate level courses in addition to their regular
undergraduate course requirements in the final year of their undergraduate program and commence their Master’s
research such that the MASc program can be completed in approximately one year. The Accelerated MASc
Pathway does not change the degree requirements for the existing BEng or MASc programs. For more information
about and application to this pathway, please contact the Associate Dean, Graduate Studies, Faculty of
Engineering and Architectural Science.
