If it moves, a mechanical engineer designed it! Mechanical engineers are responsible for a wide range of mechanical, thermal and biomedical systems and devices, from computer parts to power plants, from manufacturing systems to spacecraft. This is a broad-based area of engineering, and graduates find work in almost every industrial sector, including high tech, aerospace, manufacturing, auto, energy, biomedical and consulting.
This program is offered in English and in French.
French courses are available in first year and almost all of second year. Most third and fourth year courses are offered in English only.
Co-operative education is available with this program.
Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2024-2025 calendars for the previous requirements.
