Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) at the University of Toronto. The MIE Department is home to undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Engineering, and graduate programs that specialize in a wide range of mechanical and industrial research areas. From robotics, to human factors, to bioengineering, researchers in our department are on the cutting edge of the latest technologies that are revolutionizing our world.

Formerly two separate departments, the two administrative units were amalgamated in 1995. However, the two degree programs, Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering, remain distinct and both programs are offered by the Department. Today, the department is home to approximately 50 faculty members, 450 graduate students, 1,200 undergraduate students and 30 administrative/technical staff.

Please explore our website to learn more about our programs and exciting research. We look forward to welcoming you to the department as a student, colleague or visitor.

Professor and Chair
