Program details

Overview

This bachelor's program in mechanical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal covers the design, fabrication, and optimization of machines and mechanical equipment, teaching students to weigh materials selection, manufacturability, performance, maintenance, reliability, cost, and risk when developing engineering solutions. The program follows a project-based teaching model and includes a mandatory paid internship with industry, alongside a series of integrative capstone projects that run through each year of study, moving from individual design exercises to team-based prototype development. Instruction is delivered on campus at Polytechnique Montréal in Montreal, Quebec. The program suits students who want to work with machinery and mechanical systems across a broad range of industries, including transportation, manufacturing, energy, and biomechanics, and who are looking for a hands-on training route toward roles such as design engineer, project manager, or manufacturing specialist.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Mechanical Engineering (B.Ing.) page states only that admission is in Fall and Winter, linking to the institution's admission-conditions page for the entry requirements, so the general Baccalauréat conditions apply. Language is assessed first: applicants schooled in a system Polytechnique does not recognise as francophone must present a qualifying French test result — DALF C1/C2 or DELF B2 (lifetime validity), or 400 (level B2) in every component of TCF Canada, TCF Québec, TCF tout public, TEF Canada or TEF Québec (2-year validity) — before the file is reviewed; holders of a Québec DEC, a Canadian secondary diploma or degree earned in French, or schooling from a recognised francophone system or the AEFE network are exempt. Québec applicants enter from the collegial system, normally with a DEC in the appropriate pre-university field; applicants schooled outside Québec apply through published equivalence routes by qualification (French baccalauréat, IB, OSSD and other Canadian provinces, US high school, classes préparatoires, prior university study, among others). Anyone who finished secondary school outside Québec with no subsequent post-secondary study first completes Polytechnique's integrated 30-credit preparatory year, extending the degree to five years.
