Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering at École de technologie supérieure

Programme overview

The Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering (B.Eng., code 6522) is a full-time undergraduate programme of 118 to 120 credits taught in French at ÉTS Montréal. It was designed with the aerospace industry to prepare engineers for the design, development, certification and testing of aircraft and spacecraft. Teaching is split between the Montréal campus (one to two days a week) and the ÉNA campus in Longueuil.

Intake: Fall only (deadline August 1) | Study mode: co-op | Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

What you will study

The programme covers aerodynamics and propulsion, stability and control, aerostructures, manufacturing, systems and space technologies. Students complete three mandatory paid 4-month co-op work terms (the second or third may last eight months), plus elective courses after 70 credits.

Career pathways

Graduates work as aerospace engineers designing and certifying aircraft and spacecraft, supervising prototype and production manufacturing, and testing products through simulation, ground and flight tests.

Entry requirements

DEC route: a technical DEC in Profile A (241.A0 Mechanical engineering technology, 241.C0 Composite materials engineering technology, 244.A0 Engineering physics technology, 280.B0 Aerospace engineering technology) or Profile B (280.C0 Aircraft maintenance, 280.D0 Avionics), an equivalent technical diploma, or another ÉTS-eligible technical DEC plus the university technology pathway (mechanics stream, 15 credits) or 15 technical college units. Pre-university DEC in natural sciences or computer science and mathematics is admitted on completing the university technology pathway (mechanics) with a minimum 2.30/4.30 average, or with 30 technical college units; other DECs need the pathway at 2.30/4.30 plus prerequisite courses. Other routes include the French general baccalauréat plus ÉTS preparatory year (min 2.3/4.3), certain Canadian college diplomas (mechanical engineering technology, welding technology), a French BUT/DUT (international applicants need a cumulative average of at least 11.50/20), and a Bac+2 technical diploma (11.50/20; Canadian citizens or Quebec permanent residents). Professional experience route: aged 21 or over with 30 technical college units, or relevant knowledge and at least two years of technical experience. Diagnostic tests are mandatory for technical-DEC admits. Undergraduate applicants must meet ÉTS's undergraduate language policy (instruction is in French).
