Unique Program Features
- Graduates typically proceed to careers in research in either industrial or academic environments;
- Given that research in Mechanical Engineering is often interdisciplinary, our Ph.D. students commonly have a co-supervisor in addition to their principal supervisor;
- Research and experimental facilities contain state-of-the-art equipment (including a major wind tunnel facility) with access to extensive computational facilities;
- Faculty members collaborate with others across the University often through research centres including: the Centre for Intelligent Machines (CIM), the 成人VR视频 Institute for Advanced Materials (MIAM), and the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI);
- The Department of Mechanical Engineering is among the top three in Canada (QS World University Rankings).
