Program overview

The Master's programs in Mechanical Engineering at Ontario Tech University provide students with the opportunity to explore broad areas within the field or specialize in specific domains such as Design, Energy and Thermofluids Engineering, or Mechatronics and Manufacturing Engineering. The programs are designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in various engineering roles, focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects of mechanical engineering. Students can choose between the Master of Applied Science (MASc) and the Master of Engineering (MEng) degrees, each tailored to meet different career aspirations and educational goals.

Program structure

The Mechanical Engineering Master's program offers two distinct pathways: the Master of Applied Science (MASc) and the Master of Engineering (MEng). Each program has its own structure and duration:

Master of Applied Science (MASc): Typically lasts 24 months for full-time students, combining coursework with a research thesis.
Master of Engineering (MEng): Designed for industry professionals, this program can be completed in 16 months for full-time students and offers both course-based and project-based options.

Both programs allow for full-time and part-time study, providing flexibility for students. The MASc program emphasizes research and includes a thesis, while the MEng program focuses on practical applications and may include a major project. Students can also explore interdisciplinary opportunities, collaborating with other engineering disciplines.
