Mechanical Engineering - Restricted Electives - 2021/2022

1. Technical Electives

The combination of elective credits required to graduate are noted in the Course Calendar for your specific Cohort. All elective course offerings are subject to a minimum enrollment of 10 students. Courses may be cancelled by the university at any time if enrollment is less than 10. Semester offerings for courses may change without notice. Students should refer to the current Undergraduate Calendar to confirm that the course will be offered in the semester indicated in this program guide. Concerned that the elective prerequisites have changed mid-program? See the Engineering Elective Prerequisite - History of Changes table.   

A maximum of 1.5 credits at the 1000 course level is allowed for elective requirements (this limit applies to all electives, including technical electives, complementary studies electives and free electives, where applicable).(Rule no longer applies as of November 2022)

2. Complementary Studies Electives

Mechanical Engineering students must select [2.00] credits (four courses) from the Complementary Studies electives. You must select courses from the following:

• 0.5 credits (1 course) from list CSE-1 Complementary Studies Electives: Humanities and Social Sciences
• 0.5 credits (1 course) from list CSE-2 Complementary Studies Electives: Sustainable Development and Environmental Stewardship
• 1.0 credits (2 courses) from any of the lists:
  • CSE-1 Complementary Studies Electives: Humanities and Social Sciences,
  • CSE-2 Complementary Studies Electives: Sustainable Development and Environmental Stewardship,
  • CSE-3 Complementary Studies Electives: Economics and Project Management, or
  • CSE-4 Complementary Studies Electives: Languages (max 0.5 credit).

3. Mechanical Engineering - Elective Area of Interest

Areas of Interest are optional.  Selection of the restricted elective courses available in the MECH-1 and MECH-2 lists should be based on each student's personal and professional interests.  Students who wish to strengthen their knowledge in a particular area of interest can use the chart below for reference.  It is important to note that some of the prerequisite course requirements for the specialized design electives are included in the Engineering Elective List MECH-1.  These courses must be taken to gain registration access to the design elective course.

4. Conditions for Graduation

To qualify for the degree, the student must complete the courses required for the Bachelor of Engineering Program in Mechanical Engineering, obtaining a minimum of 23.50 credits (Regular Program) or 25.50 credits (CO-OP Program), and must achieve an overall minimum cumulative average of at least 60% and a minimum cumulative average of at least 60% in all ENGG courses.
