Program Description
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Maintenance Engineering (B.Sc. ME-MaE) degree program prepares graduates with the theoretical and technical knowledge, competencies and hands-on skills required to install, operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and manage mechanical systems in advanced manufacturing. In the first two years of study, students develop core academic competencies, practice functional skills related to subject knowledge, and develop critical thinking skills. In subsequent years, students practice applying theoretical skills and competencies related to industrial maintenance (including reliability centered maintenance, failure mode and effect analyses, and advanced functions of computerized maintenance management systems).
In the third year of studies students engage in an in-field training experience. In their final year, students conduct an in-depth research study of a mechanical/maintenance engineering-based problem, design, or technological application. The consolidation of the skill set developed in the B.Sc. ME-MaE program through the completion of a capstone project and work placement prepares graduates for exciting careers in mechanical engineering.
