Getting around campus

Ontario Tech University and Humber Polytechnic support the Government of Canada’s release of Canada’s first Nuclear Energy Strategy, and its commitment to doubling the size of Canada’s nuclear workforce.

In the university’s Human Machine Lab, Dr. Patrick Hung, Professor, Faculty of Business and Information Technology, leads research applying AI to ‘social’ robots designed to engage with people in meaningful ways. His work brings together machine learning, computer vision and language models with a clear guiding principle: AI works for humans, not to replace them.

A $91.9-million investment from the Ontario government will help Ontario Tech University expand capacity in programs aligned with regional and provincial labour-market needs, creating more opportunities for students to pursue career-connected learning in high-demand fields.

Ontario Tech University continues to see strong demand from Ontario high school students, with confirmed first-year enrolments for 2026-2027 reaching a record high. This achievement reinforces the university’s role in preparing graduates for rapidly evolving industries across all sectors.
