A dynamic curriculum designed to foster entrepreneurial thinking, innovative leadership, and sustainability management is at the heart of McMaster University’s relaunched Master of Engineering Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MEEI) and Master of Technology Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MTEI) programs.
Starting in Fall 2025, these revamped Master’s programs are now recruiting students eager to embark on a transformative journey.
“The MEEI and MTEI programs are designed to support students in engineering/technology innovation, whether for established businesses or their own ventures,” says program lead and associate professor Seshasai Srinivasan. “Students will benefit from the program’s strong connections with community partners and industry leaders, gaining practical insights and mentorship from top tech entrepreneurs.”
McMaster’s Faculty of Engineering has a rich history of nurturing entrepreneurs and ventures among its students, staff, faculty, alumni. The MEEI and MTEI programs will build on this legacy, leveraging the university’s established entrepreneurship infrastructure and the successes of past and present innovators.
Additionally, the programs will utilize digital tools to train students as innovation leaders, preparing them to drive corporate innovation in established businesses or to bring new innovations to market.
Recruitment is now underway for the Master’s programs, with the first cohort starting in September 2025. The programs offer flexible learning options, allowing students to choose between full-time (12 to 24 months) and part-time (up to 40 months) study options. Co-op opportunities are available for full-time students.
Students will engage in project-centric learning, collaborating with peers to tackle real-world challenges and develop transferable skills that enhance and transform business environments.
“Entrepreneurship and innovation are integral to our Faculty,” says Heather Sheardown, Dean of Engineering. “This Master’s program will provide students with unparalleled opportunities to build professional networks and learn from business leaders.”
