Program details
Overview
This undergraduate bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, offered through the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, covers the discipline's core areas of energy, motion, materials, design, automation, and manufacturing, with an emphasis on integrating knowledge across subdisciplines through modern design methods and computational tools. The four-year program begins with foundational sciences, mathematics, mechanics, and programming, then builds through core technical courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science. Third- and fourth-year electives allow specialization in one of five areas: manufacturing, mechatronics, solid mechanics and machine design, energy and environment, or bioengineering. All students complete a two-term capstone design project for an industrial partner or client, and students with a GPA of 2.7 or higher may take an optional one- or two-term thesis involving independent research under faculty supervision. An optional Professional Experience Year co-op placement of 12 to 16 months can be added between the second and third years, and cross-disciplinary minors and certificates are available. The program suits students aiming at careers in sectors such as automotive, robotics, energy, manufacturing, and aerospace, or at further graduate study in engineering.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Undergraduate admission to U of T Engineering, including Mechanical Engineering's common first year, is administered by the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering: Ontario applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six 4U/M courses -- English (ENG4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U), Physics (SPH4U) and one further 4U/M course -- completed within five years of entry. Meeting these minimums does not guarantee a seat: the Faculty also weighs academic performance and the mandatory Online (Engineering) Student Profile submitted with the application. International applicants present the equivalent senior secondary credential (IB, A Levels, AP, etc.) with the same subject prerequisites. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit an accepted test; the University's minimums are IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 89 overall with 22 in Speaking and Writing for tests before 21 January 2026, though the Faculty directs applicants to its own Discover Engineering site for any program-specific test acceptance or higher minimums.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:University of Toronto uses one application deadline for domestic and international applicants alike for Fall 2027 entry: 15 January 2027 for most programmes, including Applied Science & Engineering, Arts & Science (St. George), the iSchool, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Nursing, Physician Assistant, and UTM and UTSC, with supporting documents also due 15 January 2027 (Engineering) or 1 February 2027 (most others). Medical Radiation Sciences has an extended 1 February 2027 deadline. A recommended early-application date of 7 November 2026 applies across the board, and several programmes (Rotman Commerce, Computer Science, Architecture, Kinesiology) require a supplementary component due 1 February 2027. Admission decisions are released from January through late May; UofT does not describe any programme as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
