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.

To be considered for entry into the Honours program, a student must have a CGPA of at least 3.5, and it is expected that CGPA is maintained at that level until graduation. Students may apply to the Honours Program by contacting

Students may apply to the Honours Program by contacting the Honours Program Coordinator:

  • CEGEP students: at the end of the Winter term of U2 year (term 4)
  • NON CEGEP (out of province) students: at the end of Fall term of U2 year (term 5)

Description

State-space modelling and related linear algebra. Controllability and observability of linear time-invariant systems and corresponding tests, system realizations. Stability: Bounded-Input-Bounded-Output (BIBO), internal, Lyapunov. Linear state feedback control: pole placement and root locus design methods, linear quadratic regulator. State observers: full- and reduced-order designs, separation principle, Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) design. Introduction to optimal control and optimal state estimation.
  • (3-0-6)
  • Prerequisite: MECH 412 or MECH 419.

Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
