Program details
Overview
The Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering is offered by RMC's Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering in Kingston, Ontario, covering advanced study in thermofluids, dynamics and control, materials, and solid mechanics. The graduate programme is open to both military and civilian students, and the department also offers a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) alongside the doctoral programme. The doctoral programme normally comprises eight graduate-level courses in addition to a doctoral thesis, building on the eight-course M.Eng. structure with an added research component. All students must also complete the zero-credit course AI500: Academic Integrity, or an equivalent, by the end of their first term of study. Candidates undertake original research under faculty supervision, culminating in a dissertation and its defence. The programme is delivered on RMC's Kingston campus.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows RMC's general graduate requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy: applicants normally hold a Master's degree by thesis, or its recognized equivalent, in a field closely related to mechanical engineering, from a recognized university. Full-time Master's students who have completed at least one full year of full-time enrolment with no less than 80% in each course may instead apply for direct admission from the Master's programme, with supervisor endorsement and successful completion of a transfer examination. Applicants whose first language is neither English nor French, or whose prior education was not conducted in English, must provide proof of their ability to study in the language of instruction, such as an official language test result.
