Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Materials

University of Manitoba

Mechanical engineering is the use of principles of mechanics, materials and energy to design machines and processes. The Mechanical Engineering program allows great flexibility and choice with an Aerospace Option and Manufacturing Option, and specialties in energy systems, advanced materials and solid mechanics. Co-op options - The Mechanical Engineering program at The University of Manitoba was the first in Canada to introduce a co-op education option to enhance the formal education by incorporating two paid work terms of industry experience in the last half of the program. Mechanical engineering is a broad and diversified engineering discipline. It is concerned with the application of the fundamental principles and laws of nature to the conception, design, manufacturing and operation of all kinds of mechanical devices and systems. Mechanical engineers are required to understand the laws of mechanics and energy, the effects of forces on solids and liquids, the flow of heat through substances, the properties of engineering materials, the manufacturing processes and the design approaches.
