Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Laurentian University

From robots to high-speed trains, apply your technical skills to future challenges. As a Mechanical Engineering student at Laurentian University, you'll be exposed to a wide breadth of fundamental and applied engineering knowledge. In addition to receiving a strong foundational education in all aspects of mechanical engineering, the program also allows you to specialize in mechatronics, where concepts from mechanical, electronic and computer engineering are combined in the design of new integrated technologies. Classroom teaching is complemented with hands-on lab work that demonstrates the real-world implications of engineering principles. You'll also be regularly brought to work on challenging open-ended design problems that must satisfy requirements and constraints pertaining to functionality, safety, manufacturability, cost, ease of use, and environmental sustainability. The culmination of these efforts is the fourth-year capstone engineering design course, where you'll work in a team to design, fabricate, and test a device or product according to the needs of a client. Many clients are local companies or organizations looking to improve their products or services, which also allows you to connect with potential future employers.
