Engineering Business Minor - Current Engineering Undergraduates

The Engineering Business Minor is a collaborative effort between U of T Engineering and the Rotman School of Management.

It is designed specifically for engineering students interested in learning more about the business dimension of engineering — from finance and economics to management and leadership. Courses cover wealth production and creation, accounting, research and development, management, economics and entrepreneurship, all within a global context.
