      * Program Requirements

      The University of Ottawa Honours Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Design (Internship) is a 4-year program in the Faculty of Engineering, emphasizing student choice, multidisciplinary learning, digital/data fluency, professional skills development and impact on a global scale. The program trains students seeking to combine engineering/technical skills with other fields of study. Learning in the classroom is reinforced through internships and other experiences gained outside the classroom. Students also develop leadership skills via an integrated mentorship model.

      The program is intended for students who may not yet consider engineering as their educational path, thereby providing opportunities for a diverse set of students. Bridging programs help lower the barriers to entry, while the inclusive curriculum provides socially and environmentally relevant opportunities for students to grow. To develop students’ understanding of pressing global requirements for engaged engineering practice, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are integrated into learning activities, projects, and courses.

      As industry seeks out technologically adept employees and multidisciplinary knowledge, the flexible learning paths offered by the program provide students with a unique opportunity to develop skills attuned to current market demands and future industry needs. Students graduate with specific subsets of traditional engineering elements and an expansive multidisciplinary focus.
