Mechanical Engineering Honours Curricula

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Honours Program is undergoing revision and will be updated in 2026-2027 academic year. All new incoming students in Fall 2025 will be following the revised program.

Students who entered the program prior to Fall 2025 will continue under their current program until their graduation.

The Mechanical Engineering Honours program is designed for top-level students who wish to try their hand at an individual research project under supervision of a Mechanical Engineering professor. The research project results in an Honours (Bachelor) thesis and culminates in Honours Presentations. The Honours program gives more emphasis to the fundamental analytical disciplines with advanced courses to be chosen from a suggested selection of courses. The program is particularly suitable for those with a high aptitude in mathematics and physics and gives a thorough grounding in the basic engineering sciences. The program is considered to be a good stepping stone to graduate studies.

To be considered for entry into the Honours program, a student must have a CGPA of at least 3.5, and it is expected that CGPA is maintained at that level until graduation. Students may apply to the Honours Program by contacting Honours Program Coordinator after the Fall term of U2 year (term 3) or at the end of U2 year (term 4) for CEGEP students and Fall term of U2Ìýyear (term 5) or at the end of U2Ìýyear (term 6) for out of province students. For more details on the program, you may visit ɬÀï·¬ eCalendar or consult our Stream C Curriculum below.

Credits: 3
Offered by: Mechanical Engineering (Faculty of Engineering)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.

Description

State-space modelling and related linear algebra. Controllability and observability of linear time-invariant systems and corresponding tests, system realizations. Stability: Bounded-Input-Bounded-Output (BIBO), internal, Lyapunov. Linear state feedback control: pole placement and root locus design methods, linear quadratic regulator. State observers: full- and reduced-order designs, separation principle, Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) design. Introduction to optimal control and optimal state estimation.
  • Restriction: Not open to students who have taken MECH 413.
  • (3-0-6)
  • Prerequisite: MECH 412 or MECH 419.

Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
