Program structure

The major extends over two academic years and is organised around two inclass semesters, framed by two internship semesters. (note: for the international students, the first internship is replaced by an International Project semester which includes mechanics, energy, computer science and French).

All the CUs are offered in English. They are designed as independent credits so as to admit students from other programs or students attending vocational training.

In order to be as close as possible to employment conditions, the Major's project CU use a project approach, thus confronting students to a real client specifications, teamwork and autonomy.
