Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

If you want to be an engineer, surveys continue to confirm the University of Ontario Institute of Technology is one of the best places in Canada to study.

While the university is one of Canada’s newest post-secondary destinations (opened in 2003), the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has emerged among the most reputable in the country.

University Magazine’s 2018 issue ranks the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in the No. 8 position in Canada, and No. 3 among engineering programs in Ontario.

University Magazine’s national ranking echoes the results of other recent studies, including two international surveys of engineering schools. The 2017 U.S. News and World Report survey of the Best Global Universities placed the university in the top half of all engineering programs in the world. The university’s programs in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering also garnered high placings in ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects.

“Consistently placing in the top lists of national and international surveys speaks to the quality of our programs, modern labs and learning infrastructure, and also to the depth of our expanding engineering research capacity. The impressive accomplishments of our program’s earliest graduates demonstrate that we prepare students to excel and lead in the workplace.”
