These 3 degrees at Humber Polytechnic are preparing future engineers for rewarding careers

This GTA post-secondary institution is shaking things up with its cutting-edge approach.

Editor, Studio

For anyone who dreams of a career in engineering that involves pushing the envelope, a post-secondary institution with an innovative approach to engineering education is essential. It prepares the next generation with the knowledge and skills to excel in fields such as sustainable building, IT systems, and mechatronics.

Enrolment is now open at Humber Polytechnic where students can take advantage of three engineering degree programs that blend classroom theory with project-based learning. Humber’s Bachelor of Engineering degrees in Mechatronics Engineering, Information Systems Engineering, and Sustainable Building Engineering are set in cutting-edge labs, state-of-the-art facilities and specialized learning spaces including The Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation. Students also complete mandatory 12-month co-op work placements.

"Today’s challenges need innovative solutions from engineering teams that are multi-disciplinary, diverse and able to adapt to a rapidly changing world,” says Dr. Shaun Ghafari, P.Eng. Dean of Engineering, Humber Polytechnic. "Humber’s engineering degrees blend classroom theory with project-based learning providing students with the critical-thinking and practical training needed to prepare the next generation of engineering leaders.”

This approach ensures that Humber students, like Samara Ocansey, a third-year Bachelor of Engineering in Sustainable Building Engineering student and founder of the Women in Engineering club, can be confident their education will prepare them for employability with relevant skills in an ever-changing industry.

“What attracted me to Humber Polytechnic was its future-focused curriculum, which demonstrates a clear understanding of the evolving demands of the profession,” she says. "At Humber, we solve real-world problems in small classes and work in state-of-the-art labs, gaining hands-on experience with advanced technology.”
