Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Humber Polytechnic

Overview

This Master of Engineering in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering  at Humber Polytechni is one of the first of its kind to be launched under Ontario’s new approach for Master’s programs in specialized and high-demand fields of study. It is distinct from existing Master’s programs in the province, as it focuses on applied and interactive learning and direct industry collaboration. A key feature of the program is that all research and scholarly activities directly address industry challenges and can be conducted in real-world settings, which will equip graduates with the in-demand skills and experience that will enhance their employability.  

Advanced manufacturing, also referred to as digital transformation of manufacturing processes, provides flexibility and customization, improves quality, and increases productivity of manufacturing by leveraging data-driven decision-making and connectivity. This program is designed so that candidates can implement industry 4.0 technologies within traditional manufacturing facilities, maintaining the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector in Ontario. Students will gain the skills and experience to turn complex challenges into real-world solutions, driving innovation and meaningful change across the industry and beyond.  

The curriculum was designed in collaboration with industry partners and includes courses in advanced robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), engineering leadership, production planning and control, 3D Technology, System integration, and smart maintenance.  

Housed at Humber’s Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation, (Barrett CTI) the program also benefits from the Centre’s Advanced Manufacturing Skills Consortium, a group of nine advanced manufacturing partners that equip labs and learning spaces with the latest equipment and technology. This consortium answers a critical call for skilled professionals who can harness automation, boost efficiency and elevate productivity within Canada’s manufacturing sector.
