Pathways
Algoma University and Laurentian University have partnered to facilitate a seamless transition for students who complete the first year at Algoma University to transfer directly to year two in the Bharti School of Engineering at Laurentian University.
During your first year, you will meet faculty from the Bharti School of Engineering and learn more about expectations and opportunities for upper-year Engineering students. At the end of the first year at Algoma University, your grades will automatically be transferred to Laurentian University and an Academic Advisor will assist you with your course selection for year two of your Engineering program. There is no need to apply for a transfer or to pay additional application fees – making the process truly seamless for a student.
Innovation and modernization by applying science and technology toward the development of mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineering students learn how to meet the needs of society by designing new products and processes. They apply problem-solving skills to diverse areas such as robotics and automation, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and ventilation, biomechanics, transportation, energy production and conversion, and much more. Mechanical Engineering students learn about dynamic modelling, control algorithm development, engineering materials, manufacturing and mechanical design, microprocessor programming and heat transfer. Mechanical Engineers work in a wide variety of roles such as mechanical design, project management, quality control, preventative maintenance, research and development, production engineering, or move on to pursue graduate studies.
