The primary objective of  the " polytechnic " minors organized by the Faculté des Sciences Appliquées is to allow students taking a baccalaureate in engineering science, if they so wish, to acquire, through a polytechnic major/minor, basic training in two specialist areas of engineering science, and thus to broaden their technical range of skills, or prepare for a master's in engineering science in a domain which spans the various basic courses offered at baccalaureate level. 

The disciplinary objectives of the minor in mechanics are to allow the student to acquire the basic concepts of theoretical and applied mechanics. For precisely, s/he will need to:

• Master this discipline via project and laboratory-based learning.
• Develop a deeper grasp of continuum mechanics (solids and fluid mechanics), in order to master the techniques of scale model studies and mathematical modeling required by these disciplines. 
• Develop a deeper understanding of thermodynamics, both from a theoretical point of view (a deep understanding of thermodynamics, both from a theoretical point of view (understanding macroscopic concepts starting with kinetic theory of gases) as well as an applied point of view  (technical and energetic thermodynamics).
• Acquire specialized training in machine design.

This polytechnic minor is mainly intended for students enrolled on baccalaureates in engineering science (civil engineer and civil engineer architect).

The minor is also accessible to students enrolled on baccalaureates in mathematical or physical science.

Minor activities must be followed in an order which respects the following requirements: 

- MECA1901 must come before MECA1321 and MECA1100
- When students must enroll on the course MECA1510 as a replacement for a course that they are following in their major, as is required by some programs, they must also take it after MECA1901. This rule also applies to non-FSA students who find themselves in the same situation.

Majors-minors leading directly to a master's course(s) :

For students who have performed well and obtained a bachelor's qualification in engineering science - civil engineering, the polytechnic minors guarantee them, as part of a program which includes one of these minors, unconditional access, without additional training, to the civil engineering master's which corresponds to this minor.

• For the minor in applied chemistry and physics: the civil engineering master's in chemistry and material science and the civil engineering master's physicist  
• For the minor in construction : the civil engineering master's in construction
• For the minor in electricity: the civil engineering master's electrician  
• For the minor in IT: the civil engineering master's in IT 
• For the minor in mechanics: the civil engineering master's mechanic 
• For the minor in applied mathematics: the civil engineering master's in applied mathematics 
• For a program which combines the major in electricity/minor in mechanics, or major in mechanics/minor in electricity: the civil engineering master's electromechanic.
