Curriculum and Course Modules
The MSE curriculum is delivered through a project-based model that progressively builds from foundational engineering principles to advanced technologies in design, manufacturing, and automation. Students begin with a common first-year engineering foundation before specializing in mechanical systems topics across subsequent years.
Covers core engineering mathematics, natural sciences, and introductory design principles. Students explore topics across mechanical systems, building systems, sustainable design, and electrical systems through hands-on projects.
Focuses on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science as they apply to mechanical system design and analysis. Students develop the ability to model and simulate mechanical systems that conform to design specifications.
Covers automated manufacturing systems including mechanical components, conveyors, electrical and pneumatic actuators, sensors, and robotics. Students learn to design and optimize production processes for efficiency and quality.
Explores the principles of control engineering used to develop and maintain control systems for machinery and industrial processes. Students apply critical thinking to formulate and solve complex engineering problems.
Develops skills in project management, business methodologies, environmental protection, and interpersonal team dynamics. Students learn to lead engineering projects while considering economic, environmental, and societal factors.
