We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering program is one of the broadcast engineering disciplines. In this program, students will learn the principles of mechanical engineering—motion, energy, and force—and how these principles are used to design and build the world around us. At Ontario Tech University, our program is designed in consultation with industry to provide graduates with the latest knowledge in design, controls, thermo-fluids and instrumentation.

Within this program, you can choose the Energy Engineering specialization, which focused on the efficient and environmentally responsible use of energy systems, as well as energy security and reliability. You will specialize in all aspects of energy, from its generation to its end use, including energy conversion, storage, transportation, and distribution. The program emphasizes hands-on experiments using conventional as well as advanced energy technologies like fuel cells, solar collectors, and wind turbines.

Consider Mechanical Engineering if you find yourself asking questions such as:

How will engineering designs meet customer desires and industry needs, while ensuring safety?
How will advances in power-generation systems—including hydrogen, solar electric and nuclear power—impact the environment?
What advances have been made in materials, and how will this open the door to new designs and devices?
How does the push for improved building energy efficiency impact businesses?
How can the development of microfluidic devices help protect people living in developing countries?

Graduates prepared for employment directly within the mechanical engineering field

Option to take the Energy Engineering Specialization
