Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Design (Experiential Learning) from the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Engineering. It is a three-year, 90-unit degree structured around student choice, combining engineering and technical training with coursework from other disciplines rather than following a single traditional engineering stream. The curriculum emphasizes digital and data fluency and professional-skills development, reinforced through internships and mentorship arrangements, and incorporates the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals into learning activities across the program. Course sequences are organized by year, progressing from foundational engineering, mathematics, and design courses toward more applied and multidisciplinary work. The program suits students who want an engineering-adjacent design education with built-in workplace learning and a broader, less specialized course of study than a standard engineering degree.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U), one of Advanced Functions 4U (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors 4U (MCV4U), and one of Biology 4U (SBI4U), Chemistry 4U (SCH4U), Computer Science 4U (ICS4U), or Physics 4U (SPH4U). The published minimum admission average is 75%, notably lower than the other Faculty of Engineering programs, reflecting the program's broader, less STEM-intensive design curriculum. Students missing the mathematics or science prerequisite may take a replacement course at the University in the summer before or during first year. Note that the three-year credential is a Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Design rather than a BASc; the four-year BASc Multidisciplinary Design Engineering variant shares the identical admission line.
