Mechanical Engineering Honours Curricula

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Honours Program is revised for students following the 2025 Curriculum

Students who entered the program prior to Fall 2025 will continue under their current program until their graduation.

The Mechanical Engineering Honours program is designed for top-level students who wish to try their hand at an individual research project under supervision of a Mechanical Engineering professor. The Honours program places greater emphasis on fundamental analytical disciplines. Students select a focus within the program by choosing one of three themes: Solid Mechanics, Thermofluids, or Systems Dynamics and Control. The program is a good stepping stone to graduate studies.

To be considered for entry into the Honours program, students must have a minimum CGPA of 3.5 and are expected to maintain this level through graduation. Students must find a supervisor specializing with their chosen theme.
