Honours Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)

Duration

Begin your path towards a career in mechanical engineering.

Program Overview

Stand out from the crowd as a job-ready engineering graduate

With rapid changes in industry, companies are seeking engineering graduates who are ready to work from day one. Few engineering degrees in Canada will give you the same level of hands-on experience with industry-standard advanced technology. You’ll also practice finding solutions for real-world problems in the industry and the community.

Work with the latest mechanical engineering technology

Sheridan's labs are like no other in Ontario. Get a degree that prepares you to work with 3D printers, robotics, rapid prototyping, integrated energy systems including solar, wind, and geothermal energy, HVAC systems, water jet technology, advanced mechatronics system equipment and more. At Sheridan, we believe the best way to learn is to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on.

Specialize in energy or mechatronics

In your third and fourth years of study, you’ll specialize in one of two technical streams — energy or mechatronics. In the energy stream, you’ll learn to provide environmentally and economically sustainable solutions for energy generation, distribution and usage. In the mechatronics stream, you’ll learn to solve engineering problems with mechanical, electrical, computer and control engineering.

Learn skills that are in high demand

Whether you choose to specialize in energy or mechatronics, you’ll be learning skills that are in high demand. Become a leader of tomorrow in the growing energy systems sector and help solve the world’s energy problems through your ability to analyze, model, design, develop and operate sustainable systems. Or study robotics (including robotics with artificial intelligence and vision systems), programmable logic controllers (PLC) and other automation systems, skills that are extremely valuable as industries continue moving towards automation.

 No matter which stream you choose, you’ll get a solid foundation in essential maths (linear algebra, calculus, statistics) and sciences (chemistry, physics, computer programming, electrical circuits). You’ll also take core mechanical courses with a balance of engineering science and design in three key areas: mechanical sciences; systems, measurements and control; and thermal-fluid sciences.

Co-op and internship opportunities

Our Mechanical Engineering degree program features a four-month internship after your second year. You can also choose to apply for our co-op program, which adds two optional co-op work terms after your third and fourth years. This work experience will give you a chance to apply what you’ve learned in an industry setting, discover your interests, see what employment opportunities are available in the field and build on your résumé.

Our industry partners are excited about the combined 12-month co-op opportunity, which is longer than many co-op placements. They recognize that this provides more opportunity to establish working relationships with students that they can hire in the future.

Project-based learning

This program offers a new model for mechanical engineering education. Each year, you’ll work with your fellow students on a single project that spans your classes and subjects. This approach will help you better understand how each subject contributes to a larger engineering project. You’ll quickly see the value of each course and learn to apply all your acquired skills to solve an engineering problem that you’d encounter in industry.

Competitive edge

As a Mechanical Engineering student at Sheridan, you’ll be a trailblazer in a changing field. Industry is in a period of transition as more and more companies move towards automation and sustainable energy solutions. When you graduate from this program, you’ll be prepared to help lead the way into the future.

As a student in our Honours Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree program you’ll get hands-on in labs designed to imitate the real-world workplace. Want a look inside? Take a virtual tour of our Centre for Intelligent Manufacturing (formerly known as the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies).

Sheridan has been granted a consent by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to offer this degree for a seven-year term starting December 22, 2017 and subject to renewal thereafter. Application to the Ministry for renewal of the consent is a prescribed and cyclical requirement for degree programs at all Ontario colleges. Sheridan will ensure that all students admitted to the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) program during the period of consent will have the opportunity to complete the program within a reasonable time frame. Credentials earned during the period of consent remain valid, even if Ministry consent to offer the program is withdrawn in the future. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs (e.g., acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies or other educational institutions).

Will the school find co-op and internship opportunities for me?

The Co-op Office will help you find and secure a position. They do this through:

  1. An online job board of positions that you can apply and compete for.
  2. One-on-one supports and services including resume critiques, mock interviews, cover letter reviews and job search strategy discussions.
  3. A seven-week Internship Preparatory course that helps you develop your job search skills.

In addition to the above, you are required to conduct your own independent job search. This includes researching companies of interest, attending networking events, making phone calls or sending emails and promoting yourself. Although Sheridan’s Co-op Office has a long, well-established history of success, securing a position is not guaranteed and will, like any course, require your commitment of time and effort in order to achieve a successful outcome.

How do I qualify for co-op and internship?

You and all other students must complete the mandatory four-month internship to graduate. To be eligible, you must complete all of the courses from the first two years of the program and be in good academic standing. The 8-to-12-month Engineering Co-op after year three is optional and students who are interested must apply.

Sheridan may put in place a maximum number of “seats” in the Co-op program which would make entry into Co-op a competitive process and take your GPA into consideration. As this is a new degree program, the Co-op application process is still being developed and more information will be available in 2020.

I'm a graduate from a three-year advanced diploma in engineering technology. How do I join this degree program without starting from first term?

If you have a recognized three-year advanced diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology or related programs from a recognized Ontario community college, we are currently considering pathway options that will require you to complete a number of reach-back courses from the Bachelor of Engineering degree program before joining either the second or third year. There will also be a minimum GPA requirement. You and all other students will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on your academic background.

Pathways will be designed to ensure all students graduating from the program meet the requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. Students applying for a pathway option will not be considered until September 2020, at the earliest. At this time, you may consider starting in semester 1 for fall 2019.

I already have a degree in another field of engineering. How do I apply to your program? Are you going to give me credit for some of the courses I took at university?

Transfer students will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Is Sheridan’s Mechanical Engineering degree program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of Engineers Canada?

Sheridan’s Mechanical Engineering degree was designed to meet the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board’s (CEAB) requirements. New engineering programs can seek accreditation from the CEAB once they produce their first graduating class. That means Sheridan can seek accreditation for its Mechanical Engineering degree program when its first cohort graduates in 2023.

At that point, the CEAB will review Sheridan’s self-evaluation of the program and conduct an on-campus evaluation of its own. Once Sheridan’s Mechanical Engineering degree program receives accreditation from the CEAB, any students who graduated from the program that year or thereafter will be considered to have graduated from an accredited program.

How is a Bachelor of Engineering degree different than a Bachelor of Technology degree?

In general, a Bachelor of Engineering degree is designed to meet the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board requirements, and when the program is accredited, graduating students will have satisfied the academic requirements to apply for licensure as a Professional Engineer.  On the other hand, a Bachelor of Technology degree program may not be designed to meet the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board requirements.

As a result, graduates from this program may need to satisfy additional academic requirements such as the completion of technical examinations to become a licensed Professional Engineer. Further information can be found on the Professional Engineers Ontario website.

Educational philosophy

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.

Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.

The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.

Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.

The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.

The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.

Program goals

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program aspires to:

  • Develop confident, creative and critical thinkers that can solve a variety of problems thoughtfully, improving the quality of the built environment and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
  • Equip students with the tools to think independently and ethically to ensure technically, environmentally, and socially responsible decision-making.
