Advanced Manufacturing

Advance your career, expand your expertise, and drive innovation in the manufacturing sector with a Master’s Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing. This focused three-course industrial engineering program equips you with cutting-edge knowledge in manufacturing technologies, emphasizing practical skills in areas such as additive manufacturing, robotics, and machine vision. With advance integrated technologies and courses aligned with industry standards, you’ll gain the critical skills to meet modern industry demands.

A key feature of the program is the practical project component (ENIN 903), where you can gain hands-on experience, enhancing your expertise and employability. Within this course option, you can conduct an in-depth study and investigation of an industrial systems engineering advanced manufacturing project.

Is the Master’s Certificate in Advanced Engineering certificate right for you?

The Master’s Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing is an excellent option if you are:

• A recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree in industrial systems engineering or a related field looking to explore graduate studies through a certificate before committing to a full program. This certificate can count toward a Master’s degree, with courses that apply to the Master’s of Engineering in Industrial Engineering.
• A current graduate studies student aiming to deepen your expertise or complete a shorter program. The certificate can be embedded within the Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Industrial Systems Engineering and the Master of Engineering (MEng) in Industrial Systems Engineering (project and co-op route).
• An industry professional looking to expand your knowledge of Advanced Manufacturing and stay ahead in the field.
