Introduce students to the Faculty of Engineering and the engineering profession through a series of guest lectures. Provides the fundamental concepts of the engineering profession and of engineering education and practice in Canada and worldwide. It includes an introduction to different study habits. Introduces the different engineering disciplines while focusing on those available at UNB. The concept of life-long learning and its importance in the engineering profession is introduced.  Graded on a CR/NCR basis.

Introduction to the fundamental concepts of vector analysis, and its application to the analysis of particles and rigid bodies. The static analysis of particles and rigid bodies, including practical applications such as the analysis of trusses, frames and machines. The static analysis of structural systems including the analysis of internal forces and bending moments in beams. The analysis of kinematics of particle motion along straight and curved paths. The analysis of kinetic motion for particles based on force and acceleration, and work and energy. The course topics focus on visualizing concepts in mechanics, and developing problem solving strategies.

Full-year design course (fall and winter of same academic year) which may be taken by senior students in any engineering program. Working preferably in multidisciplinary teams of three to five individuals, students design a structure, system, process or new product. Many of the projects are sponsored by outside clients. Proposed solutions involve the use of modern engineering tools and design methods, and must meet a broad range of constraints including health and safety, sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Deliverables include progress reports and presentations, a final report with appropriate engineering drawings, and if applicable, a prototype. Weekly lectures cover topics relevant to the design projects and may include presentations by guest speakers. The weekly tutorial hours are designated for scheduled meetings with project co-mentors.

General introduction to the legal and ethical aspects of engineering practice. Social responsibilities of engineers, the engineering act and code of ethics, occupational health and safety, sustainable development, environmental stewardship, employment equity, legal duties and liabilities of the professional engineer, contracts, the tort of negligence, labour law, intellectual and industrial property, conflict resolution. Restricted to students with at least 100 ch in the engineering program. Limited enrolment; priority given to students in their final year of engineering.

Create an academic growth plan and use it to become a stronger, more intentional learner. Explore ways to learn more effectively, not just work harder. Practice self-regulation, improve how you study and approach tests, and learn how to engage more actively in class. Discover the value in all learning opportunities, including assignments, projects, and lab work. Strengthen your mathematical foundations, develop your ability to think analytically and algorithmically, and refine your communication skills - especially when asking questions, making sense of responses and processing feedback. Build a personalized toolkit of learning strategies, problem-solving approaches, and reflective practices to increase your confidence, build your resilience, and help you to grow as a learner.  This course will be graded as Credit/No Credit (CR/NCR). 

Develop essential engineering skills by engaging in real-world design projects, while honing your technical communication abilities. This course emphasizes problem-solving, teamwork, project management, and leadership through hands-on projects supervised by senior students and/or industry professionals. Gain expertise in oral, written, and visual communication, including technical writing, public speaking, and computer-aided design. Enhance your understanding of engineering principles and the importance of information literacy.   

Build on foundational engineering skills by engaging in multidisciplinary design challenges that emphasize real-world problems and applications. Joint lectures on topics such as sustainability, stakeholders, financial considerations, ethics, and equity will be integrated throughout the design process. 

Forces and moments are introduced with vector algebra, followed by the application of equilibrium conditions. Free body diagrams (FBDs) are used to analyse trusses, frames and machines, as well as internal member forces (shear force and bending moment diagrams for beams) and friction. Learn and apply Newton's second law (F=ma) and the kinematics of particles executing general plane motion due to external forces. The course topics focus on visualizing mechanical systems in static equilibrium and developing problem solving techniques.

The fundamental concepts of forces, moments, and vector analysis are introduced and applied to the motion of particles and rigid bodies. Free body diagrams (FBDs) and Newton's three laws of motion are used to understand the dynamics of particle motion along straight and curved paths. Topics include: Coriolis acceleration, work and kinetic energy, linear and angular impulse, linear and angular momentum, and rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis. Additional topics include centroids, centres of gravity, and moments of inertia (area and mass). The course topics focus on visualizing the concepts of motion and developing problem solving techniques. 

Develop fundamental engineering skills by rotating through specialized modules that highlight various engineering disciplines while engaging in hands-on lab activities.  The course emphasizes effective and safe laboratory practices while integrating knowledge across engineering fields, this course prepares students to make informed decisions about their future engineering specialization.
