Course sequences for Mechanical Engineering (BEng)
Course sequences outline the recommended order and timing of classes for your specific program, helping you plan which courses to take each term. These sequences are general guidelines and do not reflect individual factors such as transfer credits, advanced standing, or prerequisite deficiencies, which may vary from student to student.

Additional information
The Undergraduate Calendar is the official online source for programs, rules and regulations. Students in the Engineering programs are required to graduate having met the substantial equivalent of the curriculum in force in the winter term prior to graduation.
Extended Credit Program (ECP)
Most students entering Concordia from a secondary school outside Quebec are admitted to the ECP. This requires the completion of 30 credits in addition to the regular 90- or 120-credit degree programs.
Mature Entry Program (MEP)
Canadians and Permanent Residents who are 21 years of age or older and who lack the normal pre-university schooling may be considered for admission to the MEP, which requires successful completion of a minimum of 18 additional credits.
An integrated path allows Concordia undergraduate students to begin graduate-level coursework while completing their bachelor’s degree. This option lets you earn credits toward your undergraduate degree, all while setting you up to accelerate the completion of a graduate program if you decide to continue your studies.
To fulfill the requirements of the General Education Elective or General Electives, students may choose courses from the departmental course lists in Section 71.110 Complementary Studies for Engineering and Computer Science Students (except courses listed in the Humanities and Social Sciences Electives Exclusion List) or from the Other Courses list.
Course registration for the upcoming academic year always opens in the spring (March).
- You can find your specific enrollment date in the Academic section of your Student Centre.
- Courses can fill up quickly once registration opens, so registering as early as you can gives you the widest choice of classes and sections
- When registering, please enroll for the entire academic year. You can adjust your schedule later, before the add/drop deadlines, but securing your seat as early as possible is crucial to remain on sequence.
Transition measures
and curriculum changes
Please note that a new course has been introduced to the program core for Mechanical Engineering; MECH 373 Instrumentation and Measurements (3.5cr) (previously referred to as MECH 411).
- Students admitted (or re-admitted) in Fall 2022 or after must take MECH 373 as part of their core, and therefore must complete 87 credits from the Mechanical Engineering Core.
- Students admitted prior to Fall 2022 do not have to take MECH373 as part of their core, and therefore must complete 83.5 credits from the Mechanical Engineering Core and must complete an additional 3.5 credits of technical electives.
A new course MIAE 383 Applied Machine Learning in Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering (3.50) has been added to the Mechanical Engineering Core.
For current Mechanical Engineering students:
Students graduating in Spring 2028 or later must take MIAE 383 as part of their program core course requirements. This implies that they must adhere to the new updated 2026-27 sequence.
Students graduating in Fall 2027 or earlier must follow the transitional measures outlined below for MIAE 383:
- If you have already completed MECH 370 and MECH 371, you are not required to complete MIAE 383.
- If you have not yet taken MECH 370 and MECH 371, you must take MIAE 383.
Please note that a new course has been introduced to the program core for both MECH and INDU programs; MIAE 380 Product Design & Development (formerly called INDU 440).
For current Mechanical Engineering students:
- Student who are graduating after JUNE 2023 must have taken MIAE 380 as part of their program core course requirements. This implies that they must adhere to the new updated sequence (with one less technical elective course required). We highly recommend that you re-sequence by following the instructions on our website concordia.ca/miaeugrad. You may consult with your academic advisor to verify your revised sequence.
- Students who will be graduating in JUNE 2023 or before, do not have to take MIAE 380.
- Students who will be graduating in JUNE 2023 or before and have completed their first year of the undergraduate mechanical engineering program are strongly encouraged to enroll in MIAE 380 prior to taking MECH 390. This implies that they will be following the new updated sequence, i.e. MIAE 380 will be taken as part of their program core courses and is a pre-requisite to MECH 390. This also implies that the technical elective requirements are reduced by 3 credits. Therefore, we highly recommend that you re-sequence by following the instructions on our website. You may consult with your academic advisor to verify your revised sequence.
