Humber’s first Master’s program
Humber Polytechnic has launched its first master’s program, the Master of Engineering in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, to address critical skills gaps and strengthen Ontario’s manufacturing workforce. The two-year, six-semester program emphasizes applied, industry-focused learning in areas such as robotics, automation, IoT, production planning, and smart maintenance, with students completing an Applied Research Industry Project. Housed at the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation and developed with industry partners, the program prepares graduates to improve productivity, innovation, and competitiveness in Canada’s manufacturing sector. The first cohort is scheduled to begin in Fall 2026, making Humber among the first Ontario polytechnics to offer specialized master’s education under the province’s new initiative.
