Design and Manufacturing—MEngDM
Overview
The Advanced Design and Manufacturing Institute (ADMI)
is the administrative home for the joint program in Design
and Manufacturing offered at the master's level. The
program is offered through the joint efforts of four Ontario
universities: University of Toronto, McMaster University,
Queen's University, and Western University. 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
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, Mississauga, Hamilton, and London. Courses are
offered throughout the year and do not conform to the
regular university semester structures.
