Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Undergraduate Programmes

 

General Information

The tables below represent a typical course pattern when completing the B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering or the B.Eng. Aeronautical Engineering programme in a 4-year period. 

The department has a number of modern, well-equipped laboratories that permit students to supplement their theoretical knowledge with practical experience. These include major installations for the study of Heat Engines, Fluid Mechanics, Materials Science, and Engineering Computer-Aided Drawing, Computer-Aided Design and Manufacture, Rapid Prototyping, Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Robotics and Control Systems, Biomechanics, and Jet Propulsion. The department operates a large teaching and research machine shop.

In addition, research facilities are available for faculty and graduate student study in the areas of combustion processes, turbomachinery, aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, aeroelasticity, structural dynamics, reciprocating engine performance, alternative fuels, composite materials, fatigue and fracture mechanics, tribology, structures, anemometry and robotics.

Note: The baccalaureate degree programmes in Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering are accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.
 

Physical Conditioning and Second Language Courses Requirements

Important: The physical conditioning courses and the second language courses are part of the four-pillar degree and apply to all RMC degree programmes except the 30-credit general degree programmes.
LCF: Based on the result of a placement test, students will be registered in LCF courses at the 100, 200, 300, or 400-level. Students will automatically be exempt from applicable lower level LCF courses once placed in the appropriate course. Students who attain a Second Official Language (SOL) proficiency level of at least BBB or higher on the Public Service Commission (PSC) Second Language Evaluation (SLE) will be exempt from LCF courses at RMC.
  • ATE101: Foundations of Fitness, Health and Sports
  • ATE301: Unarmed Combatives, Military Skills and Individual Sports
  • LCF100 : Compétence de base – partie I
  • LCF200 : Compétence de base – partie II
  • LCF301 : Compétence intermédiaire – partie I
  • LCF302 : Compétence intermédiaire – partie II
  • LCF400 : Compétence intermédiaire - partie III
Note: The PSC SLE is the only SOL certification-testing instrument currently accredited and used by the CAF to assess the SOL proficiency level. (DAOD 5039-8, Canadian Armed Forces Second Official Language Certification Testing)
