Ambitious students can explore their interest and aptitude in performing research by taking a degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (MSc Thesis) at the University of Calgary. 

As a stepping stone to the Ph.D. degree, the program allows students to investigate a new research topic in depth with a leading researcher in the mechanical engineering program. 

Through things such as conferences, peer-reviewed publications, and technical papers, students get to disseminate knowledge. 

They will complete technical courses, present at a conference, and prepare and defend a thesis documenting their research over the course of their two years of full-time study. 

Students are typically funded through the duration of their study under various mechanisms offered by the faculty, department, and supervisor.

Completing this program

Manufacturing Engineering: Topics may include computer-integrated manufacturing, optimization methods with robotics, CAD/CAM/CAE, and more.

Mechanical Engineering: Topics may include combustion processes, mechanics of compressible flow, instrumentation, mobile robotics, and more.

Research Seminar: Students present at the annual Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference.

Additional Courses: Students complete Numerical Methods for Engineers.

Thesis: Students will be required to submit and defend an original research thesis.

Pipeline Engineering Specialization: Students wishing to complete the Pipeline Engineering Specialization must include three Pipeline Engineering courses approved with a Pipeline Engineering project.
