Programs
Our graduate curriculum is comprehensive, spanning a range of different disciplines, including solid and bio-mechanics, thermo-fluids, robotics and controls, aerosol science, engineering and project management, and optimization.
Such a variety of disciplinary strengths gives rise to opportunities for transdisciplinary research and graduate students often work on a variety of topics within their research groups. The key strengths of our graduate programs in mechanical engineering and engineering management include robust levels of research output, excellent training opportunities, including professional development training, and high-quality employment outcomes post-graduation. Students in the Master of Science (MSc) and doctoral (PhD) programs are treated as "junior colleagues in research," and supervisors provide a tailored combination of autonomy and guidance in developing the good scientific judgment, critical thinking, and communication skills necessary for success.
Our Master of Engineering program provides targeted training to those individuals wishing to expand and advance their knowledge of core and specialized concepts in mechanical engineering or engineering management. In fostering a robust community of interdisciplinary scholarship and achievement, we work to support a broad range of student backgrounds, learning styles, and student aspirations.
Master of Science (MSc)
Work under the supervision of experienced faculty members on impactful research and complex challenges. Robust research facilities enable meaningful contributions to different engineering fields and prepare you to become a leader in innovation and technology.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Collaborate with global leaders in areas such as thermal-fluid systems, intelligent materials, additive manufacturing, and sustainable design. As one of Canada’s top research-intensive universities, the U of A provides access to cutting-edge facilities, interdisciplinary research centers, and a vibrant innovation community.
Master of Engineering (MEng)
Our Master of Engineering program is designed to give engineers a competitive edge. By blending technical skills with managerial expertise, we prepare our graduates to excel in diverse roles—from leading technical teams to shaping corporate strategy. Join us to elevate your career and become a leader in the engineering industry.
Master of Business/Master of Engineering (MEng)
Designed for those with an undergraduate degree in engineering, the combined MBA/MEng program equips students with the skills to take a leadership role in business. Inquiries and applications for this program are made directly through the Alberta School of Business.
Required Professional Development
Learning doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom. That’s what professional development (PD) is all about: deepening your knowledge and learning new ways of thinking and doing — so you can thrive in an ever-changing world.
