Bachelor of Science - Mechanical Engineering (Program Major)

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.

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.
