2. General Information
The Engineering Management Program offers a Master of Engineering in Engineering Management and a Graduate Diploma in
Information Technology Project Management.
The objective of the Master of Engineering in Engineering Management program is to develop the knowledge and skills of engineers and
scientists in the management of people, projects, resources and organizations in technical environments. The program is supervised by a
committee composed of representatives from the Telfer School of Management and of the Faculty of Engineering.
Professors in the program are engaged in research in many areas related to engineering management: production and operations
management, robotics and manufacturing management, reliability and maintainability engineering, human resource management,
industrial and technology marketing, technical project management and control, research and development and innovation management,
operation research and forecasting.
The program is governed by the general regulations of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (FGPS).
Admission
To be considered for the master’s program, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree with a specialization or major in engineering or in
science (or equivalent) with a minimum admission average of 70% (B).
NOTE: Admission to the program is very competitive and preference will be given to candidates who have a few years of full-time work
experience in engineering or a related field.
Language requirements
Most of the requirements of these programs must be fulfilled in English. A very good knowledge of this language is therefore required.
Applicants whose first language is not English are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English.
In accordance with the University of Ottawa regulation, assignments, examinations, research papers and theses can be produced in either
English or French.
Specific requirements
Program Requirements
The program is governed by the evaluation and promotion regulations of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. To receive the
Master of Engineering in Engineering Management, a student enrolled in the program must successfully complete 30 credits of academic
work: 18 credits of core courses, and 12 credits of optional courses, which can include a 6-credit research project. 50% of the core courses
should come from engineering, and 50% from management.
Students who register in the Graduate Diploma in Technology Project Management can apply for admission to the master's and complete
the remaining required credits.
The core courses provide the background necessary for the administration of engineering operations in general. Optional courses allow
students to develop knowledge and skills in a professional area of their choice. Some courses are offered both in English and in French.
Optional courses are generally offered on a three-year cycle.
