PROGRAM INFORMATION
Campus: St. John's
Faculty: Engineering and Applied Science
Degree: Bachelor of Engineering
Length: Five years (Engineering One + four years in mechanical engineering major)
Practical Experience: Up to two years of real engineering work experience via co-op placements

Overview

Mechanical engineering is a broad field that involves the application of physical principles for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering encompasses the design and manufacturing of products that are used in every facet of society; analysis and prevention of mechanical system failures; and improving the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy systems.

You will complete courses in dynamics, strength of materials, vibration, automatic controls, machine design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, mathematics, materials, mechatronics, and robotics. You can focus your upper-year studies in thematic areas such as thermal-fluids, solid mechanics, machinery and robotics, and computer simulation.

Admission requirements

To apply for admission into the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, indicate bachelor of engineering in the appropriate place on the undergraduate application for admission. In addition to meeting the general admission requirements, you will also need to meet the admission requirements set out by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
