The Mechanical Engineering profession faces unprecedented
challenges and exciting opportunities to serve the needs of society. The
broad disciplinary base and design orientation of the field will continue
to make the skills of the mechanical engineer crucial to the success of
virtually all technical systems that involve energy, motion, materials,
design, automation and manufacturing. The explosive development of lower-cost,
compact and high speed computing hardware and software is already revolutionizing
the analysis, design, manufacture and operation of many mechanical engineering
systems. Mechanical engineering systems are part of automotive engineering,
robotics, fuel utilization, nuclear and thermal power generation, materials
behaviour in design applications, transportation, biomechanical engineering,
environmental control and many others.
To prepare Mechanical Engineers for the challenges of
such a broad discipline, the program is designed to:
(i) Provide fundamental knowledge of the various
subdiscipline;
(ii) Teach methodology and systems analysis techniques
for integrating this knowledge into useful design concepts, and
(iii) Make graduates fully conversant with modern facilities,
such as CAD/CAM and microprocessor control, by which design concepts can
be produced and competitively manufactured.
The knowledge component includes the key subdisciplines of
mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, control theory, dynamics, material
science and design. All are based on adequate preparation in mathematics
and in such fundamental subjects as physics and chemistry.
Integration of this knowledge is accomplished in third
and fourth year courses and in the final year thesis or design project.
In the final year of study, the student is free to select
courses from a range of electives. The elective offerings permit the student
to choose subjects compatible with their individual interests and provide
the exposure to high technology/modern facilities.
With this diverse background, virtually the entire spectrum
of primary and secondary industries seek the services of the practicing
mechanical engineer as an employee or a consultant. Mechanical engineers
are involved in the primary power production industry where hydraulic,
thermal and nuclear energy is converted to electricity; in integrated manufacturing
of automobiles and other equipment; in aircraft and other transportation
systems; in the heating and air conditioning industry and many others.
Along with the regular Mechanical engineering program,
students also have the opportunity to chose an option when entering third
year. The Environmental Engineering option is offered jointly with similar
options in the Departments of Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering
and Applied Chemistry to students entering third year. For further information
on this option please see the section on the Environmental Engineering
Collaborative Program. There are also two additional options available
to students entering the third year of the Mechanical Engineering program;
the Manufacturing option offered in conjunction with the Industrial Engineering
program and the Mechatronics option. Students enrolled in these options
will continue to take most of the courses in the regular Mechanical Engineering
program, but will focus their electives on and replace certain other courses
with, courses related to the option of choice.
For the modern mechanical engineer, the undergraduate
program is but the first step in this educational process. An increasing
number of graduates pursue advanced degrees in particular areas of specialization.
Graduates entering industry can continue their education by participating
in the graduate program. For further details please see the information
following the program outline.
