Baccalauréats en génie — électrique (7944), industriel (7945), mécanique et mécatronique (6729)
Published R score thresholds
| Threshold type | R score | Term | Applicant category | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Required minimum R score | 24 | In effect (fact sheets consulted on 2026-10-26) | CEGEP applicants (Quebec) | Source |
Common wording of the official fact sheets: "To be admitted, CEGEP candidates must have an R score of at least 24." Between 22 and 24: file reviewed by the program director, recommendation for admission and qualifying (bridging) courses possible.
Prerequisites
Basis of admission
- DEC (Quebec CEGEP applicants)
- University studies
Eligible DECs and their conditions
- DEC in Natural Sciences
- DEC in Science, Letters and Arts (with Physics — Electricity and magnetism for the mechanical engineering science profile)
- DEC in Computer Science and Mathematics
- Technical DEC targeted by the program (e.g. mechanical engineering techniques: profile with recognition of prior learning)
Required prerequisite courses
- Chemistry: 202-SN1 or 202-NYA
- Mathematics: 201-SN2, 201-SN3 and 201-SN4
- Physics: 203-SN1 and 203-SN2
Common rule recorded on the official fact sheets of UQTR's engineering programs (electrical, industrial, mechanical, mechatronics): R score of at least 24 for CEGEP applicants; between 22 and 24, the file is reviewed by the program director, who may recommend admission and impose qualifying (bridging) courses (CHM1010, MPU1050/1051/1052, PHQ1046). Electrical engineering, university basis: 21 related credits, average of at least 2.5/4.3. Mechanical engineering: the DEC profile in mechanical engineering techniques leads to a conditional admission (courses ING1060 and ING1061 before the 3rd term) with recognition of prior learning (12 credits according to the PDF fact sheet; a fact sheet excerpt showed 15 credits — discrepancy noted). A definitive exclusion from another UQTR engineering program results in refusal.

Official pathways
Submit the application in the 22–24 band (review by the program director)
With an R score of 22 to less than 24, the file is reviewed by the program director and may result in a recommendation for admission, with possible qualifying (bridging) courses (CHM1010, MPU1050, MPU1051, MPU1052, PHQ1046).
Complete the prerequisites at CEGEP, then reapply
The required chemistry, mathematics and physics courses can be completed at the college level before a new application.
