Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering encompasses a very broad range of subject areas, including mechanics, materials, energy, fluids, controls, design and manufacturing. Mechanical engineers design machines and mechanical systems, engines, motor vehicles, aircraft, satellites, power plants, building energy systems, manufacturing systems, robots, control systems, medical equipment, and consumer products. They are involved in the production of metals and advanced materials, fibre optic components, manufactured goods, electronic chips and computer components, machine tools and industrial supplies. Their products are as diverse as aircraft,
computer disk drives, automobiles, carbon-fibre tennis rackets, artificial hearts, solar panels, or the Canadarm.
Mechanical engineers are also concerned with energy resource production and utilization, environmental protection measures, and alternative energy systems such as solar, wind and tidal power. Mechanical engineers are versatile, and frequently take on interdisciplinary projects, which overlap with electrical, chemical, and civil engineering. Mechanical engineering graduates find employment in every branch of Canadian industry, including the high-technology, aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, building systems, energy and chemical sectors, and their work ranges from design, production and maintenance to research, consulting and management. Some of our graduates have used their mechanical engineering education as a springboard to medicine, management, law, or other careers.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an active student body with a long history of successful participation in design and student project competitions, such as the RALOS solar vehicle, the Mini-Baja all-terrain vehicle and the Formula SAE car team. There are also active student chapters of professional organizations such as the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers, which offer the opportunity to tour plants and meet with other engineers.
The department offers a four-year program leading to the BASc in mechanical engineering. The department also offers an innovative combined program, which allows students to earn two degrees - a BSc in computing technology and the BASc in mechanical engineering - in five years of study. Both of these are available as co-op programs (for more details, see the co-operative education section in this calendar). An engineering entrepreneurship and management option is also available.
The Baccalaureate of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering gives exemption from the technical examination requirements of the Professional Engineers of Ontario and the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec for licensing as a professional engineer.

BASc in Mechanical Engineering / BSc in Computing Technology | 193 |
|
The Department of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE) jointly offer the combined program in mechanical engineering and computing technology. The programs goal is to provide its graduates with a strong background for a career in mechanical engineering along with a solid foundation in computing technology. As a result of this innovative curriculum, graduates will have the same preparation as students in the regular mechanical engineering program, as well as training in software engineering, computer hardware, programming languages and operating systems, expert systems, and networks. The program will be particularly valuable for work in high-tech industries or in the manufacturing, automation, robotics, controls and computer simulation fields.
The combined program requires five years of study and leads to two degrees: the BASc in Mechanical Engineering and the BSc in Computing Technology. The program can also be completed under the co-operative education option.
NOTE: Admission to the program is limited. To remain in the program, students must satisfy Faculty regulations. The computing technology program can only be taken in conjunction with a BASc program in engineering. |

Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship option | 158 |
|
| The engineering management and entrepreneurship option will appeal to students interested in managing their own enterprise. These skills are also important for engineers who are working in teams on both large and small-scale projects as they need to be able not only to design a product or process, but also to market it effectively to both their technical and administrative associates. Entrepreneurs are knowledgeable about the legal, financial, and administrative procedures involved when starting up new companies and they are aware of the pitfalls involved. In this option students take the bulk of their complementary studies requirements from the School of Management. The first, second and third years of this option are identical to the regular program; only the fourth year is shown here. |

|
| |
Graduate Studies in Mechanical Engineering | |
|
| For further study in a specialization, students whose cumulative grade point average is 6.0 or above should consider graduate studies. Enrolment in a maximum of two graduate courses may be possible in the final year of undergraduate studies for subsequent credit in the graduate studies program. Interested students should direct their enquiries to the graduate student advisor in mechanical engineering. |
