Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), Accredited by CEAB – Fall and Winter Entry Available
About the Program
Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. You will develop a broad range of technical skills and knowledge to complete diverse engineering tasks for a cleaner and healthier environment.
You will start with learning the fundamental knowledge that serves as the foundation for mechanical engineering. After the first year, you will have the chance to focus on and explore what you are most passionate about – Mechanism Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Instrumentation, Electrical Systems, Fluid Dynamics, Solid Mechanics, CAD (computer-aided design) and Computer Simulation Tools, Control, Mechatronics, Vibrations and Actuators, and System Engineering.
Aside from all the technical know-how, you will pick up some great soft skills – effective communication, project management, law, public policy and leadership.
