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, Mechanical Engineering and Industrial
Engineering programs amalgamated in 1995 to create the current Mechanical
and Industrial Engineering Department. Today the department is home to 50
faculty members, 350 graduate students, 1200 undergraduate students and 30
