TMU Undeclared Engineering (First Semester Studies Only)
Toronto Metropolitan University
The published admission average for Undeclared Engineering (First Semester Studies Only) at Toronto Metropolitan University is 85–90% for September 2027 entry, under OUAC code SEU.
In your first semester, you take core engineering courses in math, physics, and design while exploring different engineering specializations — aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing. You won't choose your specific engineering stream until after first semester, letting you test what each field actually involves before committing. This suits students who are confident they want engineering but unsure which branch matches their interests and strengths.
Plain-English summary. The universities publish requirements but not an explanation of the program, so this one is written for you and checked against the official listing above. Read the university’s own page before you decide.

What this leads to
The picture for aerospace engineering as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.
Aerospace engineers mainly work in educational institutions, aerospace manufacturing companies, and research laboratories. Graduates become structural engineers designing aircraft components, flight test engineers running certification tests, or systems engineers managing complex aerospace projects.
In its favour
- Job prospects are high in the province of British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario.
- Entry salaries range from CA$84k to CA$105k, with senior roles reaching CA$177k.
- Despite growing automation, the industry is hiring in engineering roles, with the future depending on synergy between human skills and automation rather than pure replacement.
- The field is concentrated in major Canadian clusters (Mirabel Quebec, Ontario manufacturing), so if you're in the right place, there's steady demand.
Worth knowing
- Design and drafting work—creating 3D models and technical drawings—is increasingly automated by AI software, reducing the need for manual input.
- Up to 40% of engineering tasks could be automated by 2030, according to a 2023 World Economic Forum report.
- The shift requires new skills beyond classical principles, emphasizing data analysis, AI management, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
- You'll need Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) licensing to take on independent design responsibility, which adds time after your degree.
How AI is changing this work
Routine design tasks such as creating 3D models and drafting technical drawings are increasingly handled by AI-powered software. Over 50% of aerospace firms have integrated AI tools into their development processes. However, the need for human intervention and oversight will remain crucial in quality inspections, design, and decision-making, and AI integration is expected to create new job opportunities while shifting roles towards more intellectual and strategic tasks. The work you'd actually do—system design, safety analysis, testing oversight, problem-solving on real aircraft—is less automated than routine drafting, but the entry-level CAD-heavy work is shrinking.
