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. Note: 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 analyze 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. Coriolis acceleration. Work and kinetic energy, linear and angular impulse, and linear and angular momentum. 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 Students rotateing 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. 

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. Limited enrolment; priority given to students in their final year of engineering. Note: Credit cannot be counted for both ENGG 4014 and ENGT 4014.   

Application of engineering economic analysis to mechanical and industrial engineering systems. Major emphasis will be given to decision-making based on the comparison of worth of alternative courses of action with respect to their costs. Topics include discounted cash flow mechanics, economic analyses, management of money, economic decisions. Note: Credit cannot be counted for both ENGG 4032 and ENGT 4032.
