York's Mechanical Engineering graduate program, based in the cutting-edge Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence, provides outstanding opportunities to collaborate with distinguished researchers using advanced facilities to shape the future. The Department of Mechanical Engineering grants thesis-based MASc and PhD degrees across diverse specializations tailored to each student's research focus and advisor. Research areas span fundamental disciplines like solid mechanics, thermofluids, controls, and aerospace, along with interdisciplinary fields including microfluidics, smart materials, and biomedical optics.
For engineers seeking expanded professional horizons, the department enables coursework at York's prestigious Osgoode Hall Law School and Schulich School of Business. These innovative educational options develop complementary soft skills to boost career success after graduation. Additionally, courses through the Faculty of Education equip students to educate future engineers with enhanced pedagogical approaches.
