達爾豪西大學

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers exciting programs that give students the theoretical foundation and practical experience to meet the needs of Canadian industry. All first-year students will complete the core engineering program before applying to their desired discipline in second year.

Choose from two undergraduate degree options in Mechanical Engineering:

• Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) - Co-op Program (5 years)
• Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) - Non Co-op Program (4 years)

All Dalhousie Engineering undergraduate programs are accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

As a mechanical engineer, you can:

• Design and improve machines and mechanisms such as cars, spacecraft, boats, bikes, disk drives, and printers
• Design and implement effective solutions for existing and emerging energy industries, including renewable energy
• Develop and adapt bio-mechanical equipment for exercise, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and sport
• Select and install equipment for indoor environment control, including heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning for buildings and vehicles
• Organize and maintain production processes for food, lumber, paper, petroleum and textile industries

The Mechanical Engineering program at Dalhousie provides a well-balanced technical education. We prepare graduates to practice in design, research, development, fabrication, testing, processing, construction, operation, planning, sales, and management.

In addition to courses taught by our expert faculty, you'll gain a wide range of hands-on experience, including:
