Mechanical Systems Engineering

Our MSE program, delivered at the honours level, is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Upon graduation, you can become a professional engineer after completing your mandatory work experience and passing the professional practice exam. As a student, you will explore a rich blend of interdisciplinary topics covering mechanical, industrial, and control engineering, enabling you to design complex computer-controlled mechanical systems. Automated manufacturing systems, comprised of mechanical components, conveyors, electrical and pneumatic actuators, sensors, and robots, are examples of such mechanical systems. Using a project-based approach, you will learn to solve real-world engineering problems and develop strong skills incorporating business methodologies, project management, and environmental protection. As you work on increasingly complex projects, you will build upon fundamental technical knowledge by gradually applying advanced leading technologies and integrating your evolving design, manufacturing, and automation skills. This project work and twelve months of paid co-op opportunities will thoroughly prepare you for a rewarding career in various engineering fields. At the end of year two, students have the option of pursuing a major in Joining or Welding. This major option offers interdisciplinary studies of engineering design, welding and joining processes, engineering metallurgy, metal additive manufacturing, and non-destructive evaluation, complemented by robotics and automation. In state-of-the-art welding and robotic labs, and through project-based learning, you will gain practical, and theoretical knowledge in welding and joining to tackle real-world challenges. Graduates can pursue an International Welding Engineer qualification through the International Institute of Welding.
