Mechanical Engineering (M.Sc.)

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering is a thesis-based, research-intensive program offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. Students undertake original research across aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, biomechanics, combustion and energy systems, design and manufacturing, dynamics and control, materials and structures, vibrations and acoustics, fluid-structure interaction, computational fluid dynamics, and advanced materials and nanotechnology, developing skills in literature review, data analysis, and scientific communication. Departmental research and experimental laboratories include a major wind tunnel and extensive computational facilities, with cross-university collaboration through centres such as the Centre for Intelligent Machines, the McGill Institute for Advanced Materials, and the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital. The department ranks among the top three in Canada. Admission requires an eligible bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.3 out of 4.0 and English-language proficiency. The program is offered with Fall and Winter intakes.
