Mechanical Engineering (BEng) at Dalhousie University

Cars, spacecraft, medical devices, renewable energy systems — mechanical engineers design the machines that move the world. At Dalhousie, you'll build them in our labs and test them for real. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest branches of the engineering profession, and we'll help you master it at Atlantic Canada's #1 engineering school . You'll learn hands-on in our labs, gain paid co-op experience, and study on Sexton Campus in downtown Halifax.

Faculty: Engineering  |  Department: Department of Mechanical Engineering  |  Study mode: co-op  |  Intake: September and January  |  Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

What you will study

Your first two years build a strong, common engineering foundation in math, science, design and engineering fundamentals, on Sexton Campus in Halifax or the Agricultural Campus in Truro. You'll then move into mechanical engineering, going deeper into machine design, dynamics, fluid mechanics and thermofluids, with technical electives to focus your final year.

Career pathways

Our graduates go on to become innovators and industry leaders across many fields: biomedical devices, manufacturing, vehicle design, renewable energy, and marine transportation. Wherever machines and systems are designed, mechanical engineers are needed. You might start in design, testing, or production roles and grow into research and development, project management or technical leadership.
