Mechanical Engineering (MASc)
Master of Applied Science (MASc)
Program overview
The Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering is a thesis-based program whose purpose is to advance the design of technological systems. Students will broaden a specific area of scientific knowledge, conducting research on a topic of their choice in mechanical or industrial engineering. Our state-of-the-art laboratories and research centres for industrial control, computer-aided vehicle engineering, composites and computational fluid dynamics attract students from all over the world. With an international reputation and world-class research programs, our department is at the forefront of research and graduate training in mechanical and industrial engineering in Canada. Students interested in the course-work masters program should refer to the MEng Programs instead.
