4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
University of WindsorThe Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering (Aerospace Option) at the University of Windsor is meant to prepare students with the expertise required to meet the engineering requirements of the aerospace industry. The program is ideal for students who have an interest in aerospace materials, manufacturing, maintenance, and logistics, and is focused on creating future aerospace components and optimizing operational efficiency.
Curriculum structure:
Year 1: Provides a common engineering foundation, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and first-year engineering, to provide all students with the basic analytical and problem-solving skills.
Year 2: Teaches essential mechanical engineering topics and laboratory practice, including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and design engineering.
Year 3: Further specializes with classes such as Applied Thermodynamics (92-317), Fluid Mechanics 2 (92-320), Heat Transfer (92-328), Machine Design (92-421), Computer Aided Engineering (92-459), and Aerospace Engineering Fundamentals (94-370), which blend advanced mechanical engineering with aerospace-related material.
Year 4: Is integration and application, such as the Capstone Design project (92-400), Aerospace Materials & Manufacturing (94-371), Aerodynamics & Performance (94-471), Aerospace Propulsion (94-470), Flightworthiness (94-472), and technical electives, and courses on failure prevention and engineering society. The third year is further focused on real-world aerospace issues and industry collaborations.
Focus areas: Aerospace materials, aerodynamics, propulsion, manufacturing, avionics, structural analysis, maintenance, logistics, systems design, operational efficiency
Learning outcomes: Aerospace systems knowledge, problem-solving ability, design and manufacturing by doing, teamwork, readiness for aerospace industry and research profession
