Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering (PBENM) (Optional Co-op)

Few engineering degrees in Canada will give students the same level of hands-on experience with industry-standard advanced technology like Sheridan College's Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering program. Students will practice finding solutions for real-world problems in the industry and the community. This degree will prepare students to work with 3D printers, robotics, rapid prototyping, integrated energy systems including solar, wind, and geothermal energy, HVAC systems, water jet technology, advanced mechatronics system equipment and more. In third and fourth years of study, students will specialize in one of two technical streams — energy or mechatronics. In the energy stream, students will learn to provide environmentally and economically sustainable solutions for energy generation, distribution and usage. In the mechatronics stream, students will learn to solve engineering problems with mechanical, electrical, computer and control engineering.

No matter which stream students choose, they will get a solid foundation in essential maths (linear algebra, calculus, statistics) and sciences (chemistry, physics, computer programming, electrical circuits). Students will also take core mechanical courses with a balance of engineering science and design in three key areas: mechanical sciences; systems, measurements and control; and thermal-fluid sciences.

Sheridan's Mechanical Engineering degree program features a four-month internship after the second year. Students can also choose to apply for Sheridan's co-op program, which adds two optional co-op work terms after the third and fourth years. This work experience will give students a chance to apply what they have learned in an industry setting, discover their interests, see what employment opportunities are available in the field and build on their résumé.
