Ph.D. and M.A.Sc. graduate programs in Mechanical Engineering are administered by the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering upon the advice of its Graduate Studies Committee for Mechanical Engineering. Ph.D. and M.A.Sc. programs are offered in the areas of Manufacturing Automation and Thermo-Fluids. Within the Manufacturing Automation area, a graduate student may concentrate upon Automotive Manufacturing Engineering by the selection of appropriate courses and the choice of the research topic.
Course requirements for the Ph.D. and M.A.Sc. programs in Mechanical Engineering will be selected from the courses listed below and related courses in other programs. A student's course program will be formulated in consultation with the advisor and requires approval of the Graduate Studies Committee for Mechanical Engineering and the Department Head.
With the permission of the advisor and Department Head, Mechanical Engineering courses with numbers greater than 449 and related to the graduate field of study may be taken for graduate credit. Not more than a total of six term hours of credit shall be allowed for the undergraduate courses offered by any department.
