Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is the use of principles of mechanics, materials and energy to design machines and processes. The Mechanical Engineering program allows great flexibility and choice with an Aerospace Option and Manufacturing Option, and specialties in energy systems, advanced materials and solid mechanics.

What is unique about this program at the U of M?

Accreditation of this program is recognized as equivalent in seven countries outside Canada. The Price Faculty of Engineering is housed in a new state of the art teaching and research facility. Most teaching laboratories have been ungraded with new equipment with completion of the renovation expected in 2011. We have new design and manufacturing, controls, robotics, and fluid dynamics teaching laboratories. Students are provided with hands-on experience using state of the art computer design packages and simulation tools. A virtual reality lab gives our students unique opportunities to test their work. There are a number of student technical society events each year: SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), CASI (Canadian Aerospace Students Institute) and CSME (Canadian Society of Mechanical Engineers) which design and build vehicles for international competitions.
