BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering

Program Name: Mechanical Engineering (BSc)

Intake: September Only

The mechanical engineering program provides an education that embraces, among other subdivisions, the design of mechanical devices and systems, manufacturing engineering and management, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, power generation and utilization, air con­ditioning, the material sciences, and the aeronautical sciences.

The mechanical engineering program offers basic training in the sciences, mathematics and fundamental engineering subjects followed by more specialized discipline-related subjects. Students can choose technical electives to suit their career objectives and are also required to take complementary studies electives related to social issues.

Students entering the mechanical engineering program may specialize with an option in aerospace, or a stream in aerospace, materials, solid mechanics, or thermofluids. Students are urged to consult appropriate program requirements shown for each option/stream.

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering is one of five undergraduate engineering majors that can be undertaken after a common year of foundation studies.

The mechanical engineering program is an accredited professional program providing education in basic sciences, mathematics and engineering sciences. Students acquire design skills for machines and processes based on the learned principles of mechanics, materials and energy.

Co-op/IIP

Many mechanical engineering students choose to undertake work terms through the Co-operative Education and IIP program. This experiential learning opportunity also qualifies as a pre-graduation experience that counts towards their professional designation and, if completed in full, is reflected on the graduation parchment.

Learning beyond the classroom

Every student in Engineering has opportunities to apply the theoretical foundations of classroom learning to real-world design problems throughout the program. In the Co-operative Education and Industrial Internship Program (Co-op/IIP), you can complement your study with paid work experience. Competition, representational, and special-interest societies allow you to connect with fellow students with shared interests. And student exchange programs let you complete part of your degree at one of several partner universities around the world.
