Mechanical Engineering

Program Overview & Highlights

  • Co-op Available
  • Honours 4-Year Program
  • BASc

Begin your journey to an exciting career in mechanical engineering by developing a solid foundation in machine design, CAD, and thermos fluids with specializations in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and materials engineering. The faculty promotes connections with industry through projects, courses, and workplace co-op opportunities. Mechanical engineering includes two broad areas of study: thermofluids (which involves heat and power) and solid mechanics (designing mechanical parts, determining the forces on those parts during operation, and analyzing their performance as part of larger machines and systems).

You can choose to stay in the general mechanical stream and customize your senior level courses across available options or choose one of the following: Aerospace, Automotive, Materials.
