Students can enroll in a Master of Science program that is a project and/or thesis based. The department has well-equipped research and teaching laboratories and allows either experimental or theoretical research projects. Students may be involved in a specialized research-oriented activity, collaboration with industry, or research centers in Canada. The length expected to complete a M.Sc. is two years. The department offers Master of Science (M.Sc.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) and Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree programs, as well as a Postgraduate Diploma (P.G.D.) program. In the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs, graduate students complete course work and a project, while P.G.D. students complete course work only. All graduate programs are conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Graduate student enrollment is approximately 80 students, and about half of our students are enrolled in the Ph.D. program. Faculty members pursue research in six broad areas of mechanical engineering: advanced engineering design and manufacturing applied mechanics and machine design bioengineering control systems, robotics and fluid power fluid dynamics, thermal sciences and energy materials science and metallurgy
