Using industry-standard design software, such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD and MasterCAM, students become technologically savvy and highly employable on completion of the program. Third-year students have an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and problem-solving skills in a simulated industrial setting by completing a design project under the guidance of faculty.
Graduates are able: to create, modify and improve engineering designs using conventional and computer-based methods; perform engineering tests that support product development; use computer-aided engineering (CAE) software/systems to conduct engineering design and analysis; design and troubleshoot automated control systems; design specialized jigs and fixtures; and analyze problems involving machine design, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer.
