- 2. innovativeautomation.com WHAT IS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER? Exactly what a mechanical engineer is can vary based on industry, perspective and project. Formally, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) reserves the title for professional engineers with a specialization in mechanical engineering. However, many individuals perform some of the duties of mechanical engineers, even if they aren’t a registered professional engineer.
- 3. innovativeautomation.com Here at Innovative Automation, the mechanical engineering roles are fulfilled by our mechanical design team throughout our product development process. The mechanical design team is made up of: • Skilled tradespeople • Engineers in training • Professional engineers • Engineering technologists
- 4. innovativeautomation.com WHAT DO MECHANICAL ENGINEERS STUDY? Professional mechanical engineers must attend an accredited university program specializing in mechanical engineering. During their undergraduate, mechanical engineering students study a wide variety of subjects. Just as a side note: It is also possible to become a mechanical engineer with equivalent qualifications and successful completion of required technical exams as required by PEO.
- 5. innovativeautomation.com The programs focus on tackling problems from first principles, connecting the engineering knowledge back to its scientific origins. This ensures that, at graduation, a mechanical engineer has the tools and skills to innovate, invent, and tackle new, unforeseen challenges.
- 6. The first two years have a strong focus on pure science and math, creating a strong base and fundamental understanding of basic principles for the following years. The final two years dive deep into true engineering. For example: math is used to model , describe, and analyze fluid flow, the motion of dynamic systems, the behaviour of closed-loop feedback control systems and the behaviour of materials under loads. innovativeautomation.com
- 7. The students learn about the detailed characteristics and properties of metals, ceramics, composites and plastics. The university teaches you about energy, heat, and modes of transfer as well as the laws of nature that dictate how these can be used. innovativeautomation.com Engineering students are also required to take a variety of other courses that teach the student about law, economics, ethics, and how these pertain to the engineering profession.
- 8. innovativeautomation.com WHAT DO MECHANICAL ENGINEERS DO IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY? The car is a fantastic example of excellent mechanical engineering. The production of an affordable, safe, and fun car, As we know them today, is truly an achievement.
- 9. None of it would be possible without hundreds of hours of mechanical engineering design. The car itself requires an enormous amounts of effort to ensure that it’s strong enough, safe enough, and inexpensive enough so that people will purchase it. innovativeautomation.com
- 10. Vehicles are a necessity in most parts of North America, and a luxury in many parts of the world. The demand is so high that the industry must increase production to keep up. innovativeautomation.com Honda Canada Manufacturing, located in Alliston, has the capacity to make 390,000 vehicles per year. The consequence of this is that they are required to produce about 1 car a minute.
- 11. Our team of mechanical designers focus on providing machinery to our clients to allow them to meet their production quotas, while maintaining their quality requirements. innovativeautomation.com Keeping up with such a production rate means that the car parts must be manufactured at the same rate. This is where Innovative Automation comes into the equation.
