Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering - Automotive (NEJ) (Co-op)

Students can begin their journey to an exciting career in mechanical engineering by developing a solid foundation in machine design, CAD, and thermofluids with applications in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and materials engineering. Available specializations include automotive, aerospace, environmental, and materials. The University of Windsor's facilities include a dedicated project courtyard where students develop their hands on capabilities. The faculty promotes connections with industry through projects, courses, and workplace co-op opportunities.

Students will study topics such as vehicle handling, vehicle thermal management, innovative powertrain technologies, and participate in hands on learning in the lab. Opportunities abound to design, build, and race a variety of ground vehicles in international competitions.

Students will learn: • Designing, producing, and operating a wide variety of complex mechanical systems • Understanding and internalizing aerodynamics, heating and ventilation, and energy production • Planning effective, large-scale projects that manage resources and balance considerations including cost, quality, and speed • Analyzing complex problems and breaking them down into steps/component parts • Developing skills necessary to recognize the need for precision and detail in engineering design tasks • Writing, preparing, and presenting detailed technical reports, presentations, and resources to engage diverse audiences and communicate work
