Prerequisitesas published	Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U) and Advanced Functions (MHF4U), with a minimum grade of 60% in both. Should applicants present any of the following courses, their pre-engineering year may be adjusted accordingly: Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and/or Physics (SPH4U).

What it is	Pre-Engineering is a one-year program that strengthens your math and science foundations before you move into a specialized engineering degree. You'll take courses in chemistry, physics, and advanced mathematics to prepare for civil, mechanical, electrical, or general engineering programs. It's designed for students who want to study engineering but need to build up their technical skills first.	You study both chemical engineering — how to design and optimize chemical processes and manufacturing at industrial scale — and computer science, learning to build software and computational systems. The five-year structure and mandatory co-op terms give you paid work experience alongside your degree, letting you apply both skillsets in real industrial settings. This suits students who want to bridge chemistry and coding rather than choose one, and who value hands-on experience while earning.
