Earning a PhD in Mechanical Engineering provides specialized technical knowledge in key disciplines such as industrial automation, vehicle design using computer-aided tools, advanced composite materials, and fluid dynamics simulations. Concordia's Mechanical Engineering Department leads in innovative research and graduate education across Canada. The department's cutting-edge research facilities and laboratories draw a diverse, international student body. This achievement stems from the outstanding research contributions of both faculty and students, recognized through substantial external funding from multiple prestigious sources.
To be considered for admission on a full-time basis, applicants normally must hold a master’s degree or equivalent with high standing in engineering or computer science, or in a cognate discipline. Holders of bachelor’s degree will, in general, be considered for admission to a master’s program only. After completion of a minimum of two terms of full-time study, they may, upon application, be considered by the Faculty Graduate Studies Committee for admission to a PhD program.
