The Mechanical Engineering profession faces unprecedented challenges and exciting opportunities in its efforts to serve the needs of society. The broad disciplinary base and design orientation of the field will continue to make the skills of the mechanical engineer crucial to the success of virtually all technical systems that involve energy, motion, materials, design, automation and manufacturing. The explosive growth in the availability of lower-cost, compact and high speed computing hardware and software is already revolutionizing the analysis, design, manufacture and operation of many mechanical engineering systems. Mechanical engineering systems are part of automotive engineering, robotics, fuel utilization, nuclear and thermal power generation, materials behaviour in design applications, transportation, biomechanical engineering, environmental control and many others.
To prepare Mechanical Engineers for the challenges of such a broad discipline, the program is designed to:
(i) Provide fundamental knowledge of the various subdisciplines;
(ii) Teach methodology and systems analysis techniques for integrating this knowledge into useful design concepts, and
(iii) Make graduates fully conversant with modern facilities, such as CAD/CAM and microprocessor control, by which design concepts can be produced and competitively manufactured.
The knowledge component includes the key subdisciplines of mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, control theory, dynamics, material science and design. All are based on adequate preparation in mathematics and in such fundamental subjects as physics and chemistry.
Integration of this knowledge is accomplished in third and fourth year courses. Students select many upper-year courses from a list of electives, permitting them to choose subjects compatible with their individual interests. Most technical elective courses are grouped into one of five areas: Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Solid Mechanics and Machine Design, Energy and Environment or Bioengineering. Students are expected to select a sequence of courses from two of the five streams, acquiring greater depth of knowledge in those areas. Students have the option of doing a one or two term thesis in the fourth year, allowing independent study and research with a university faculty member.
With this diverse background, virtually all industries seek the services of the practicing mechanical engineer as an employee or a consultant. Mechanical engineers are involved in the primary power production industry where hydraulic, thermal and nuclear energy is converted to electricity; in integrated manufacturing of automobiles and other equipment; in aircraft and other transportation systems; in the heating and air conditioning industry; in the design and manufacture of electronic hardware; in materials processing plants and many others industries.
For the modern mechanical engineer, the undergraduate program is only the first step in this educational process. An increasing number of graduates pursue advanced degrees in particular areas of specialization. Graduates entering industry can continue their education by participating in the graduate program. For further details please see the information following the program outline.

1 Practical Experience Requirement - As described in the beginning pages of this chapter, students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours of acceptable practical experience before
graduation (normally during their summer vacation periods).
2 At least two of the four (0.5 credit) Complementary Studies Electives to be taken between second and fourth year must be Humanities/Social Sciences courses (see the Complementary Studies
section at the beginning of this chapter). An equivalent 1.0 credit course is also acceptable. Students are responsible for ensuring that each elective taken is approved. Please consult the electives list available on the Engineering Office of the Registrar’s website.
proFessional experienCe year
Students registered within this program, and all other undergraduate programs within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, may elect to enrol and participate in the Professional Experience Year (PEY) program. The PEY program requires that qualified students undertake a paid, full-time 12-16 month continuous work period with a cooperating industry. Details are described in the beginning of this chapter. For more information, consult the Professional Experience Year Office, 45 Willcocks Street 2nd Floor, early in session 2F or 3F.

2 Students may use a capstone course to substitute for a stream course or a technical elective, however, atechnical elective may not be used to substitute for a capstone course. This type of
substitution is permitted in each term of 4F and 4W.
3 In 4F, students must take one required course (indicated below) from each of the same two streams followed in 3W. As well, students are encouraged to take two more courses in 4F or 4W in
order to complete a stream (a total of 4 courses from one stream).
4 Students are permitted to take at most two technical elective substitutes in their fourth year, but are required to obtain formal Departmental approval from the Undergraduate Office.
5 Students may choose to complete a one-term thesis in 4F or 4W, or a two-term thesis, provided they are supervised by a member of the University of Toronto teaching staff.
