Introduction
The Bachelor of Engineering - Building Systems Engineering (BSE) program delivered at the honors level, is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) allowing graduates to become professional engineers after completing their mandatory work experience and writing a professional practice exam. This paid co-op program explores the present and future of modern, energy-efficient and sustainable buildings with increasingly complex operational systems. The BSE program targets motivated individuals looking for challenging careers in design and integration of building systems, energy, and utilities as well as building operations and facilities management. Delivered using a project-based learning environment, the BSE program allows students to solve real-world problems by integrating mechanical, electrical and control engineering knowledge with environmental, business, project management concepts and team dynamics skills. The three co-op work terms and the increasingly complex projects, strategically integrated with academic semesters, enhance students’ skills and job readiness.

Scholarships and Funding
Financial assistance
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a needs-based program designed to help Ontario students cover the cost of post-secondary education. Funded by the federal and provincial governments, OSAP is intended to promote equality of opportunity for post-secondary studies through direct financial assistance for educational costs and living expenses. These interest-free loans are intended to supplement your financial resources and those of your family. The majority of students apply for loan assistance via the OSAP website. Students can also print the application booklet through the OSAP website. For more information, please visit OSAP & aid.
Awards & scholarships
Student Financial Services awarded more than 400 awards, scholarships, and bursaries last year.
Program Outcome
- Apply university-level mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering fundamentals to solve engineering problems involving building systems.
- Apply critical thinking to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex engineering problems to reach substantiated conclusions that are supported by appropriate research.
- Conduct investigations relating to natural science, mechanical, and building systems using methods that incorporate appropriate research and experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to reach substantiated conclusions.
- Creatively transform ideas and concepts into robust engineering solutions that meet stakeholder/occupant requirements specifically considering health and safety risks, applicable standards and codes, and economic, environmental, cultural, and societal constraints.
- Design, model, analyze, simulate, implement, and integrate building systems using concurrent design principles to realize solutions that conform to design specifications and stakeholder/occupant requirements ensuring compatibility with current industry equipment and trends.
- Create, select, adapt, and develop appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering tools for the design, analysis, simulation, evaluation, and implementation of building systems, and apply them appropriately giving consideration to their associated limitations.
- Apply concepts of human relations and organizational behavior to establish and maintain effective relationships using leadership, interpersonal, group dynamics, and conflict resolution skills across diverse teams and groups.
- Communicate complex engineering concepts within the profession and with society at large using oral, graphic, and print media methods to produce effective reports, design documentation, and instructions.
- Interpret and adhere to professional, ethical, and legal codes of practice in compliance with industrial, labor, and environmental legislation to protect the public and public interest.
- Apply the concepts of sustainability, environmental stewardship, and an awareness of societal impacts, including an appreciation for the interactions and uncertainties involved, to design and development activities.
- Apply professional ethics, accountability, and equity to demonstrate value, and respect of diversity across global, and societal contexts.
- Integrate engineering skills and knowledge with current business practices to manage risk and contractual obligations, and provide economically sound engineering solutions.
- Effectively manage enterprise resources through planning, organizing, staffing, directing, motivating, leading, monitoring, and controlling.
- Identify and address individual needs for continuing education and professional development to maintain technical and professional competence and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge
