Mechanical Engineering Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Mechanical and Materials Engineering is traditionally one of the major departments in any faculty of Engineering. This is also true at Western. To prepare for a career in this branch of engineering, students in their first three years study a series of fundamental and basic courses in Science, Engineering and Mathematics. In the final year students may choose from a variety of technical electives. The program stresses the importance of solving open-ended problems and the development of interpersonal and communication skills Program First year courses are common to all Engineering programs. Upon completion of first year, students must be admitted into the Mechanical Engineering program. The second and third year program is structured to emphasize the basics of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. The final year is arranged so that each student may choose courses from a selection of technical electives. This allows the student to tailor their interests to a specific career goal. Opportunities exist for students to enroll in one of the many concurrent degree programs. This involves at least an additional year of study. Often courses taken for one degree may be credited to another degree. A concurrent degree is often considered an associated skill for the Engineering profession. Technical electives can be chosen from areas such as: Computer Aided Design Production Automation and Robotics Computer Integrated Manufacturing Aerodynamics
Energy Conversion Control of Building Environment Industrial Design Properties and Selection of Materials
Employment Opportunities Career opportunities are found in most industrial enterprises. For example: the design of transportation vehicles, the design of energy conversion systems, the design of control and hardware of building environmental systems, and the design of equipment for food production. Engineers in this discipline may also choose a career in one of the many areas of manufacturing.
