MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD 

MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD 

The Department of Mechanical 

and Manufacturing Engineering 

offers B.Sc., M.Sc., M.Eng. and 

Ph.D. programmes. We have 

two major programmes in 

Mechanical and Manufacturing 

Engineering and two minor 

programmes in Mechatronics 

Engineering and Petroleum 

Engineering. The newly created 

Mechatronics minor program will 

start in September 2002 for both Manufacturing and 

Mechanical Engineering students. Between these two 

undergraduate programmes, the department has an 

undergraduate enrolment of 469 students and over 90 

graduate students in Masters and Ph.D. programmes. In 

2001, the department graduated 119 students. The 

graduates were comprised of 101 undergraduate students 

with B.Sc. degrees (75 in Mechanical Engineering and 26 

in Manufacturing Engineering) and 18 graduate students (6 

Ph.D., 10 M.Sc., 2 M.Eng.). 

The Department currently has two chairs: Canada Research 

Chair in Biomedical Engineering, NSERC Chair in Design 

Engineering; and one University Professor. Currently the 

Department is searching for chair holders for 

Westaim/NSERC Research Chair in Biofilms Engineering 

and Drilling Engineering. 

In 2001, after over thirty years of distinguished service to the 

University, the Faculty, and the Department, Dr. D.H. Norrie 

retired. He continues to lead the multi-disciplinary research 

group in Intelligent Systems. We wish him the very best. 

The Department was pleased to welcome two new faculty 

members, Drs. L. Sudak and S. Spiewak. We have also 

recruited several new faculty members who will be joining 

in 2002. We are very pleased with the joint appointment of 

Dr. W. Herzog and Dr. R. Zernicke, leading experts in 

biomedical engineering, in our department. We have 

completed searching for 6 new academic staff. Dr. A. 

Budiman joined the Department in January 2002 and 

several new academics will join the Department in May 

through September. 

In this reporting year, the Department had another 

successful year in research productivity and quality with a 

total of 2 books and proceedings, 61 journal papers and 147 

book chapters and conference papers published, and 36 

journal papers accepted or in press. Several members 

delivered keynote and invited lectures at international 

conferences and various institutions. Our staff have 

attracted research funding from various sources including 

NSERC Strategic Project Grants, CRD and IOR Grants, 

Chair Grant, Research Grants and research contracts with a 

total of over $2,250,000, excluding the funding received by 

the joint academic staff. 

On the educational front, the Department was 

instrumental in revising the first-year common core courses 

by developing a full-year design course which will provide 

the first year engineering students with an opportunity for 

inquiry-based learning and the development of their critical 

problem solving capabilities. 

The members of the Department continued to play 

leadership roles in international collaborations and 

professional societies. Our research strengths in Applied 

Mechanics, Biomechanics, Thermo-Fluids, Energy Systems 

and the Environment, Nano/MEMS/Mechatronics, 

Manufacturing and Design, and Materials have been 

recognized nationally and internationally. The members of 

the Department were active in professional services with 

editorial appointments of professional journals, organizing 

and chairing conferences and sessions, and providing 

leadership and services to professional societies such as 

ASME, NACE International, SAE, SME, IIE and CSME. 

In 2001, the University installed its new President, Dr. 

Harvey Weingarten. Under his leadership, the University 

recently unveiled an Academic Plan “Raising Our Sights” 

for 2002-2006. The Department has the research strengths 

in three of the four strategic priorities identified in the 

Academic Plan: Energy and the Environment, Technology 

and Information, and Health and Wellness. We are actually 

working with the Special Advisors to the President for these 

three strategic priorities to develop our research strategies 

for the implementation of the University Academic Plan at 

the Department level. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors 

and stakeholders for their support. We’d love to hear from you 

if you are interested in hiring a graduate, sponsoring a student 

design project, getting involved in education and/or research 

activities, or just giving us some suggestions. Your support 

is crucial for the continuing success of the Department.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES 


Undergraduate Programs 

The Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department offers two major programs, Mechanical Engineering and 

Manufacturing Engineering, with the following Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees for undergraduate studies: 

• Mechanical Engineering (ENME) 

• Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CPIM) 

• Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Petroleum Engineering (ENPM) 

• Manufacturing Engineering (ENMF) 

• Manufacturing Engineering with a Minor in Mechanical Engineering (ENMM) 

Both the Mechanical Engineering program and the Manufacturing Engineering program are fully accredited programs. The first 

and foremost objective of all undergraduate programs is to provide our students with an engineering education commensurate 

with academic background and qualifications necessary for the practice of the engineering profession. This is achieved through 

a 4 year, 8 term degree program consisting of a 1 year common curriculum in engineering for all students followed by a more 

specialized 3 year program in either Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering. Thus, the graduating student is 

provided with a general engineering education plus appropriate in-depth knowledge of selected areas in Mechanical Engineering 

or Manufacturing Engineering. 

To achieve this objective, the programs include a broad and appropriate education in the physical science, mathematics, 

computer sciences and the principles of engineering science and design. In addition the students are provided with the 

opportunity to study courses designed to improve societal awareness, communication and business skills and to make them 

aware of the pervasive impact of technology on society. 

The students are encouraged to take the Engineering Internship Program (EIP) that provides them with a broad array of 

personal and interpersonal skills, and a strong process and business orientation, in addition to technical competence. 

Undergraduate Enrolment and Degrees Granted 

In 2001, the Mechanical Engineering program continued to be one of the most popular programs in the faculty, attracting 

considerable second year applicants, while the Manufacturing Engineering program is the largest one of its kind in Canada. 

Many students also participated in the Engineering Internship Program (EIP). Some students were enrolled as part-time 

students or part-time evening students in the programs. In 2001, 101 students were granted B.Sc. degrees.

Undergraduate Design Projects 

The annual poster presentation for the third running of the full year, team design course for fourth year mechanical and 

manufacturing engineering students was held this year in the foyer of the main engineering building. The course provides our 

students with a real world, team design experience. This is done through cooperation with industry, the community and the 

faculty in providing real design problems that have real customers. The student design teams have solved a wide range of design 

problems that include medical device development, oil patch problems, competitive automotive design (SAE Formula and 

Mini-Baja competitions) and aeronautical design (SAE Heavy Lift Competition) as well as projects for Mines Action Canada 

and disability access projects. The medical device development projects in particular are the result of a long standing cooperation 

between Tenet Medical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. As the program grows, 

industry is recognizing the mutual benefit of working with our students on real world design problems. It is interesting to note 

that the focus of industry partners in the program has been primarily to contribute to the training of new engineers in creative 

problem solving. Also of interest is the success of the manufacturing system design projects that were incorporated into the 

course for the first time. For both the mechanical and manufacturing programs, the design instructors fairly burst with pride 

for our students and their capacity for creative thinking and action in engineering.
