Bachelor of Technology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada is a bachelor's degree in General Engineering programme. Tuition for international students is CAD 5,245 per credit (CAD 797 per credit for local students).
The Bachelor of Technology is a McMaster University degree delivered in partnership with Mohawk College, where students also earn an Advanced Technology Diploma and a Business Management Certificate alongside the McMaster credential. Three direct-entry specializations are offered: Automation Systems Engineering Technology, covering electronic systems, sensors, robotics, and industrial automation; Automotive and Vehicle Engineering Technology, covering vehicle safety, sustainability, hybrid and electric design, and CAD modelling; and Biotechnology, covering genetic engineering, molecular biology, bioprocessing, and immunology. The curriculum devotes about a quarter of its coursework to business and management topics and includes extensive laboratory work, taught in average class sizes of around 80 students. A co-op work-term structure is built into the program, typically a four-month term after second year and an eight-month term in third year, with the page stating that all graduates complete co-op work terms and finish with at least twelve months of combined work experience. The program suits students seeking a hands-on, technology-focused credential with built-in industry work experience, and it is delivered at McMaster University's Hamilton campus.
