DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science FIRST YEAR DISCIPLINE ORIENTATION - Mechanical

Engineering Program Monday January 30, 2012 Advice for Choosing a Discipline Select the discipline that will hold your interest for the next 3 to 4 years of your life. Everyone graduates as an engineer. Choice of discipline does influence the first job placement After 2 to 5 years, you could be working in an area very different from original discipline After 5 to 10 years, many find themselves in management or entirely different professions Mechanical is the most broad-based of the disciplines and provides the greatest choice when it comes to upper year electives and choice of career

Curriculum Common 2nd year and mostly common 3rd year, electives and design project in the 4th year. Areas of concentration for technical electives in mechanical engineering: 1) Aerospace 2) Energy and Fluid Systems 3) Manufacturing Engineering 4) Mechatronics Engineering Plus a Materials Engineering Option and a Biomechanical Engineering Option 1st year prerequisites for 2nd year mechanical courses are APSC 111 (mechanics), 112 (electricity), 171/172 (calculus) and 174 (algebra)

Mechanical engineers can be found working in analysis, construction, consulting, design, development, maintenance, management, manufacturing, marketing, research and sales. The mechanical engineers knowledge and skills are needed in a remarkable range of industries: automotive and aerospace, energy and environmental, communication, materials and manufacturing, food and chemical processing, medical and biomechanical, resource industries, transportation, and others. The Queens Mechanical Engineering curriculum provides a solid foundation in the basic engineering sciences of solid mechanics and dynamics, materials engineering, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. Building on this foundation are courses key to the discipline of mechanical engineering including machine design, manufacturing methods, and instrumentation and control. All students take a unique course in manufacturing machine shop practice. Our modern well equipped machine shop, complete with CAD (computer aided design) workstations and CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines, is used for prototype development. The upper year curriculum provides a choice of technical electives. Examples include computer aided design, design of biomechanical devices, advanced fluid dynamics, aerospace engineering, robotics, turbomachines, ergonomics and design, mechatronic systems design, advanced materials, and thermal systems design. The projects in the final year design course are industry sponsored. Students in all years are encouraged to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular international design team competitions.

In addition to this broad base, the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering prides itself on being a leader in project based, team oriented and hands-on learning. After year two, a student can choose to remain in the general Mechanical Engineering Option (ME1) or select a more focused path in the Materials Option (ME2) or the Biomechanical Option (ME3) for the third and fourth year of their studies. All students that successfully complete the program will graduate with a highly respected Mechanical Engineering degree. All through the program students learn to plan and manage their time and work. Students are given many opportunities to develop their written and verbal communication skills in proposals, reports and presentations. These are critical skills for professional engineers so they can communicate their ideas to their colleagues and peers. Many students are attracted to the mechanical engineering program because it is the most broadly based of the engineering disciplines. In addition to professional engineering practice, a mechanical engineering degree can be a launching pad into a range of other careers which include business, law, medicine and academia.
