Master of Science (MSc)
Thesis-based program
Ambitious students can explore their interest and aptitude in performing research by taking the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (MSc Thesis) degree. As a stepping stone to the PhD degree, the program allows students to investigate a new research topic in depth with a leading researcher in the mechanical engineering program. Through things such as conferences, peer-reviewed publications and technical papers, students get to disseminate knowledge. They will complete technical courses, present at a conference, and prepare and defend a thesis documenting their research over the course of their two years of full-time study. Students are typically funded through the duration of their study under various mechanisms offered by the faculty, department, and supervisor.
Manufacturing Engineering: Topics may include computer integrated manufacturing, optimization methods with robotics, CAD/CAM/CAE and more.
Mechanical Engineering: Topics may include combustion processes, mechanics of compressible flow, instrumentation, mobile robotics and more.
Research Seminar: Students present at the annual Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference.
Additional Courses: Students complete Numerical Methods for Engineers.
Thesis: Students will be required to submit and defend an original research thesis.
Pipeline Engineering Specialization: Students wishing to complete the Pipeline Engineering Specialization must include three courses of Pipeline Engineering approved courses with a Pipeline Engineering project.
Consulting, research and development, forensic engineering, management, process control.
A thesis-based master’s degree in mechanical engineering will give you the pre-requisite for a PhD.
