      Program Description

      The Masters of Engineering in Entrepreneurial Engineering Design provides advanced training and mentorship in engineering design in the context of entrepreneurship. The focus of the program is on the design of new products or technology that will be commercialized or made available to have community impact for engineers who aspire to start companies. The program requirements encourage the development of high-level communication skills and the development of a wealth of transferable skills that will be useful by graduates regardless of their ultimate career trajectory. These learning outcomes will be supported at all levels of the program requirements through the evaluation and mentorship of professors, advisors, peers, startup project committee members, and external mentors and coaches.

      The program leverages the design spaces available at the Faculty of Engineering including the Simon Nehme Design Commons, the Richard L’Abbé Makerspace, the MakerLab, the Manufacturing Training Centre and the Brunsfield Centre. In addition, the Faculty’s MakerLaunch accelerator program will help bridge graduating students into the startup ecosystem of the National Capital Region. Through the use of mentored projects, it will also provide opportunities for the commercialization of uOttawa research.

      Fees and Funding

        * Program fees

      The estimated amount for university fees associated with this program are available under the section Finance your studies.

      International students enrolled in a French-language program of study may be eligible for a differential tuition fee exemption.

        * To learn about possibilities for financing your graduate studies, consult the Awards and financial support section.

      Notes

        * The program is governed by the academic regulations in effect for graduate studies at the University of Ottawa.
        * This is a bilingual program in the sense that full support is given to complete the requirements for the program in either English or French. International internships and projects are welcomed, but reports and other gradable components must be submitted in English or French. We have a full complement of fully bilingual professors and advisors who can work with, mentor and advise students in the language of their choice. However, the professional language for engineering and for much of the access to venture capital in North America is English. In order to succeed in industry after graduation, students will need to develop a least a minimum capability in English. This program will provide an appropriately supportive environment for francophone students to do so at their own pace. The internship and project courses can be done entirely in French but the environment is bilingual which often switches to English for professional and technical conversations. Elective courses can be done entirely in French as directed studies or topics courses with a bilingual professor. The regularly scheduled elective courses and all the core courses will be delivered in English. However, students have the right, and are encouraged, to complete all work required for the degree in either English or French. As stipulated in the University’s bilingualism regulations (Academic Regulations I-2), students will be able to write their work, including their internship and project, in the official language of their choice (French or English). Students will be informed of the policy on their language rights via the student handbook and the website. There are sufficient bilingual faculty to supervise and grade internships and project reports in either language.

Durant ce cours, le concept du produit sera développé, de même que le modèle commercial initial. Le projet impliquera toujours de créer une nouvelle organisation basée sur un plan de conception et de développement d'ingénierie afin de concrétiser une idée technique répondant à un besoin de société ou d'entreprise. L'idée technique peut provenir de chercheurs universitaires, de partenaires de l'industrie ou des étudiants eux-mêmes. Exceptionnellement, les membres d’un projet qui ne semble pas viable seront autorisés avant le début de la deuxième partie de ce cours, EED 5999, à changer d’équipe pour laquelle les projets aboutissent et nécessitent un soutien supplémentaire. / The focus of the second year is on experiential learning. In EED 5998, teams will be formed, and the project will be selected through an interactive process, involving collaboration between the student team, advisors, industry partners and mentoring participants. During EED 5998, the product concept will be developed, as will the initial business model. The project will always involve creating a new organization based on an engineering design and development plan to realize a technical idea that meets a societal or business need. The technical idea can come from faculty research, from industry partners or from the students themselves. Exceptionally, team members on a project that does not look like it will be viable will receive permission to change before the start of EED 5999 to a different team whose projects are succeeding and require additional support.

              Une fois que le concept de produit aura été développé dans le cours précédant, EED 5998, les équipes se concentreront dans le cours EED 5999, sur le développement de leurs produits. Pendant ce cours sur les projets de conception, les étudiants travailleront sur la conception détaillée, le modèle commercial validé, le prototypage itératif et la mise en œuvre de leurs projets. / Once the product concept is developed in EED 5998, teams will focus on developing their products in EED 5999. During this design projects course, students will work on the detailed design, validated business model, iterative prototyping and the implementation of their projects.
