Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering

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 manufacturingApplied mechanics and machine designBioengineeringControl systems, robotics and fluid powerFluid dynamics, thermal sciences and energyMaterials science and metallurgyResearch programs range from fundamental investigations intended to advance theoretical understanding to practical studies intended to solve current industrial and environmental problems. A significant number of research projects involve industrial partners who provide funding, expertise, and access to special research facilities.
