The Aerospace specialization in the Mechanical Engineering program provides you with a solid foundation in the science and technology of flight. Developed on the principles of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials and control systems, this specialization introduces the core disciplines that enable the design and operation of aircraft and spacecraft.

You will gain a deep understanding of aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and flight dynamics. These skills are essential to the development of aerospace systems. The specialization integrates theoretical learning with applied problem-solving and relevant simulation tools used in the aerospace industry.

The Aerospace specialization can be taken in the Mechanical Engineering major.

Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U) with a minimum average of 60 per cent, Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and Physics (SPH4U). In addition, a combined minimum 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required, with no grade below 60 per cent.

Note: Admission is competitive. The specific average or standing required for admission varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjects relevant to the academic program. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications.
