Mechanical engineering is a diverse discipline focused on applying physics principles to analyze, create, produce, and sustain mechanical systems. This field covers designing and building products for all aspects of modern life, investigating and preventing mechanical failures, and enhancing the performance of sustainable energy solutions.
What sets Memorial's mechanical engineering program apart is its cooperative education model, allowing students to gain nearly two years of professional experience before completing their degree. The curriculum offers specialized tracks in mechatronics, petroleum/offshore energy, thermofluids and energy systems, or materials and structural mechanics. Coursework includes subjects like system dynamics, material strength, vibrations, control systems, mechanical design, fluid dynamics, thermal sciences, heat transfer, advanced mathematics, material science, mechatronic systems, and robotic technologies.
Duration: Five-year program (including one foundational year plus four years of mechanical engineering specialization)
Hands-on training: Potential for two years of practical industry experience
