Program Overview

Aerospace Engineering - BEng (Hons)

The Aerospace Engineering degree program at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) enables students to master the mechanisms behind flight and propulsion, designing and developing vehicles, technologies, and systems for the future.

Program Overview

In the first year, students start with engineering fundamentals like calculus and physics. As they progress, they study subjects such as aerospace design and flight mechanics in TMU's 24 aerospace labs and facilities. In the third year, students choose to specialize in Aircraft, Spacecraft, or Avionics, and in the fourth year, they address a real-world challenge through a team capstone design project, presenting their solution to industry experts.
