Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering

 

What is Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical engineering is a diverse field covering the design, control and manufacturing of mechanical and electro-mechanical devices and the generation and transformation of energy from hydro-electric to steam, internal combustion, nuclear, jet rockets, and fuel cells.

Mechanical engineers research and develop new materials, processes, and techniques in a wide spectrum of fields such as automotive, heavy equipment and aerospace. They can specialize in areas such as: internal combustion, jet engine design, stress and vibration analysis, control engineering, production engineering, composites, materials handling, measurements, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning; as well as the application of computers in all aspects of design and manufacturing used to produce higher quality products at a lower cost to the consumer by environmentally-friendly means.

Why Choose Mechanical Engineering at Concordia?

Our programs have secured a leading position among the mechanical engineering departments in North America. The undergraduate curriculum emphasizes design and project-based labs in addition to traditional academic components: lectures, tutorials, and course work.

Final year courses comprise relevant projects requiring student capabilities in analysis and experimentation which gives the students experience in industry practices. Our program couples fundamental engineering science with practical design thereby giving students the broad skills they need to realize their goals. It also allows students to obtain further specialization in a particular area of their field of interest.

Currently four (3) options are available:

  • Aerospace & Propulsion

  • Design & Manufacturing

  • Systems & Mechatronics

Our program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and our graduates are eligible to become registered professional engineers.
