Aerospace Engineering Graduate Program
About the Graduate Program
The mission of Ryerson University’s Department of Aerospace Engineering is a combination of several interconnected objectives: provide an excellent education and experience for our undergraduate and graduate students within the realm of aerospace engineering, that will better enable them to realize their potential upon graduation; bring relevance to our programs through strong interaction with the aerospace industry, as relates to both education and research; and conduct significant, internationally recognized research across a spectrum of key areas that are of importance to the aerospace community within Canada.
Aircraft design, development and production have been an important part of the Toronto area's history for over 85 years. Canada's first aircraft factory opened in Toronto in 1915. Since then, 11,200 aircraft have been delivered to customers in more than 100 countries. Ryerson’s Department of Aerospace Engineering is located in the George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre, a state-of-the-art building opened in 2004 and located at the heart of downtown Toronto. The Department has a high reputation among the aerospace community, and has contributed in the development of strategic plans for promoting the health and growth of aerospace in Ontario and Canada.
The graduate program focuses on the intellectual development of graduate student as the primary commitment and objective whereby students will learn how to think critically and independently about specific problems (or projects) in the various graduate courses provided.
