Bachelor of Engineering and Society - Mechanical Engineering and Society (B.Eng.Society Co-op Optional)

McMaster University

Immerse yourself in mechanical engineering, from design to construction, of a variety of physical systems and devices, mindful of the profession’s human context and the relationship between engineered solutions and societal development. Mechanical engineers collaborate in interdisciplinary teams using the principles of physics and mathematics to conceive, research, design, manufacture, test, control and maintain a wide variety of mechanical systems. These systems include vehicles, airplanes, power plants, biomechanical implants, human assistive devices and renewable ''green'' energy systems.The Department of Materials Science and Engineering offers a common core with five streams of study in Levels III and IV. Students may complete the required units as listed in the calendar in Levels III and IV by choosing a course selection according to the following elective streams:BiomaterialsData Analytics & Computational MaterialsMaterials GeneralistMaterials for Manufacturing & InsfrastructureSmart Materials & DevicesA list of approved technical electives for each stream is available on the Department of Materials Science and Engineering website. Note that a course in a stream may not be taught when the enrollment is (expected to be) too low.Students entering Level II should register in the Materials Science and Engineering program and follow the requirements outlined below. Students entering Levels III, IV or V should follow the program requirements as specified in the Undergraduate Calendar of the year of their entry into Level II. Such students are advised to refer to their degree audit for the program in which they are registered and to consult with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering for further information.A minimum of 18 units of focus elective courses is required for the Engineering and Society program. (This does not include the six units of complementary studies elective in Level I.)As well as completing the academic requirements as specified in this Calendar, students in a Co-op program must complete ENGINEER 1EE0. ENGINEER 2EC0 will be added to the academic record for each 4 month work term.
