Aircraft Engineering Courses in Canada

Aircraft engineers design vital propulsion systems.

Aircraft engineering, also called aeronautical or aerospace engineering, is a division of engineering that focuses on the design and construction of aircraft. The study also includes specializations in the design and science of spacecraft. Canada has world-class aerospace engineering programs offering degrees at undergraduate and graduate levels. Graduates of these degree programs have found immediate employment and have become vital factors to the aviation and aerospace industries throughout Canada.

University of Toronto

Specializations can focus on aerodynamic systems.

The University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the field of Aerospace Engineering. The school specializes in research conducted on propulsion systems, structures and aerodynamics. It is consistently ranked among the top programs for aerospace study in Canada. The school offers a four-year bachelor of science degree as well as a two-year master of science degree in Aerospace Engineering with specializations in aeronautical and space systems.
