History
On May 6, 1986, Academic Council approved a motion to change the name of the Mechanical Technology Department to the Mechanical Engineering Department. Three separate schools were created under its jurisdiction: School of Aerospace Engineering; School of Industrial Engineering; and School of Mechanical Engineering. On December 5, 2000, Academic Council approved a motion to change the name of the Mechanical Engineering Department to the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Industrial Engineering. On May 6, 2003, Academic Council approved the restructuring of the Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Department to form two separate departments: the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and the Department of Aerospace Engineering. No changes are recommended at this time to the existing arrangement of separate archival groups for these three areas. 2006: A decision was made to create a new group for the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department (Mech/Industrial), closing off the two separate groups Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering.
