Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines where you can develop a broad range of technical skills and knowledge to complete diverse engineering tasks that will teach you how to make a positive impact on the world and create a cleaner environment. This multidimensional discipline includes design engineering, renewable energy, developing medical diagnostic devices, advanced manufacturing and materials, robotics and automation.
Our Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).
What You’ll Learn
You will start by learning the fundamental skills and theory that serve as the foundation for mechanical engineering.
After your first year, you will have the chance to specialize and explore what you are most passionate about –Mechanism Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Instrumentation, Electrical Systems, Fluid Dynamics, Solid Mechanics and CAD (computer-aided design).
Aside from the technical know-how, you will pick up some great soft skills including effective communication, project management, law, public policy and leadership.
After second year, you can pursue co-op opportunities, gaining professional experience to get a head start towards becoming a licensed Professional Engineer.
