About the Program

Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical Systems Engineering (MSE) is a CEAB accredited engineering program, the first step on the path to becoming a professional engineer. It is geared to motivated individuals looking for challenging careers in the dynamic and growing areas of mechanical design, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. The MSE program is an innovative and challenging one, delivered using project-based curriculum. As students undertake four years of increasingly complex real-world projects, they will progress from engineering fundamentals to advanced, leading-edge technologies in design, manufacturing and automation.

Students also develop proficiency in business, project management, environmental and sustainable design as well as interpersonal and team dynamics. In addition, liberal studies breadth courses and generic skills complement the engineering curriculum.

A 4-week foundation module leads off the program, introducing students to the profession, research skills, engineering fundamentals, generic and liberal studies. With many opportunities to enhance learning, the foundation module is designed to ensure that students succeed in their chosen profession.
