COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Science (MSc) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba is a research-intensive program designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of engineering principles through original research. Students must complete a minimum of 12 credit hours of graduate-level coursework, which includes both core and elective courses tailored to support their specific research interests. The program’s primary focus is the development and execution of a thesis project under the supervision of a faculty advisor. This thesis involves conducting novel research that contributes to the advancement of knowledge in a particular area of mechanical engineering, such as thermofluids, solid mechanics, materials, robotics, or manufacturing. Upon completion of the research, students are required to prepare and submit a written thesis, deliver an oral presentation to their examining committee, and successfully defend their work in an oral examination. The MSc program emphasizes the development of analytical thinking, research methodology, and scientific communication, preparing graduates for roles in research and development, academia, or industry. With access to advanced laboratories and a collaborative academic environment, students are equipped with the technical expertise and professional skills necessary for tackling complex engineering problems and pursuing further doctoral studies if desired.
