Program details

Overview

This Bachelor of Engineering program in Mechanical Engineering is delivered on campus through the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Architecture. It offers a General option and a Mechatronics option, which blends mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering; both run four years, with a co-op option that extends study to five years by alternating paid work terms with academic terms. Coursework covers thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, dynamics, and control systems, supported by laboratory work and design projects, and culminates in a fourth-year capstone project where student teams design, build, and test a device or product. Students can also take part in laboratory-based competitions and clubs, including robotics teams that compete internationally. The program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, and graduates are positioned to pursue Professional Engineer licensure or graduate studies. It suits students interested in hands-on engineering design and problem-solving. Career paths include aerospace, defence, mining, manufacturing, power generation, and telecommunications, in roles such as machine design, project management, research and development, maintenance management, and quality control.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Minimum overall average of 75% in the 6 best Grade 12 U/M courses. Required: English U/M, 4U Advanced Functions, 4U Physics, 4U Chemistry, one additional U/M math or science, and one other U/M course.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Laurentian's Canadian- and international-applicant pages publish recurring annual deadlines without stating an entry year, so the dates below are each one's next future occurrence measured from September 2026. For September 2027 entry, domestic Group A (current Ontario high-school, OUAC 101) applicants face a January 15, 2027 deadline and Group B (other domestic, OUAC 105) applicants August 1, 2027; Group B's next January-entry deadline is December 1, 2026 and next May-entry deadline is April 1, 2027. International applicants must apply by June 15, 2027 (documents June 20, 2027) for September 2027 entry; the recurring January-entry international deadline next falls on August 15, 2026, already past, so no January 2027 international deadline remains open, and no May-entry international deadline is published. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing carries a February 1, 2027 deadline for both domestic and international applicants (September entry only). The Bachelor of Architectural Studies is administered separately by the McEwen School of Architecture, whose own page remains locked to the 2026-2027 (Fall 2026) cycle — OUAC deadline January 15, 2026, portfolio/statement of interest February 14, 2026 — with no Fall 2027 dates yet posted. Laurentian does not describe admission as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
