In addition to Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Schulich School of Engineering minimum requirements, the Department requires:

Master of Engineering (course-based)

Thirty units (5.0 full-course equivalents), no more than 12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) of which can be senior undergraduate courses (500-level).

Master of Engineering (thesis-based)

a) At least 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents), of which 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) may be taken from outside the Department. No more than 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) can be a senior undergraduate course (500-level).

b) In addition to the 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents), thesis-based students must also receive credit in ENME/ENMF 613 Research Seminar. To receive credit in this course, students must attend designated seminars and present once at the annual Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference in the Winter Term.

Master of Science

a) At least 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents), of which 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) may be taken from outside the Department. Not more than 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) can be a senior undergraduate course (500-level).

b) One course to be selected from Mechanical Engineering 631 - Numerical Methods for Engineers or Mechanical Engineering 633 - Mathematical Techniques for Engineers.

c) In addition to the 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents), thesis-based students must also receive credit in ENME/ENMF 613 Research Seminar. To receive credit in this course, students must attend designated seminars and present once at the annual Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference in the Winter Term.

Doctor of Philosophy

a) Twenty-one to 30 units (3.5 to 5.0 full-course equivalents) at the graduate level, of which 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) may be taken from outside the Department. No more than 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) can be a senior undergraduate course (500-level).

(For students who transfer from an MSc program, 6 to 18 units (1.0 to 3.0 full-course equivalents) beyond the master's degree are required.)

b) One course to be selected from Mechanical Engineering 631 – Numerical Methods for Engineers or Mechanical Engineering 633 – Mathematical Techniques for Engineers.

c) In addition, thesis-based students must also receive credit in ENME/ENMF 713 Research Seminar. To receive credit in this course, students must attend designated seminars and present one at the annual Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference in the Winter Term.

d) One additional presentation at the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference in the Winter Term must be completed in partial fulfillment of the degree requirement.

In addition to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Schulich School of Engineering requirements, the program requires:

Thesis Examination

Scheduling of the Examination

All members of the Supervisory Committee must have reviewed the student’s draft thesis document before an examination can be scheduled.

Composition of the Committee

The Internal Examiner must be external to the home program.

None beyond the Faculty of Graduate Studies requirements.

None.

The MEng program is self-funded.

See "Engineering Programs".

Students may hire an editor to copyedit their theses subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.7 of the Faculty of Graduate Studies Thesis/Dissertation Guidelines.

See "Engineering Programs".

Research is supported in the following areas: applied mechanics, automation, control, robotics and nano MEMS, biomechanics, design, manufacturing systems, materials and manufacturing processes, thermo-fluids, energy systems and environment.
