MASc Mechanical Engineering

Here are additional experiential learning opportunities available in the MASc in Mechanical Engineering program at Concordia University:

• Participation in Space Concordia: Students can engage with Space Concordia, a student organization dedicated to the development of space technology. The organization comprises four divisions: Rocketry, Robotics, Spacecraft, and Space Health. The Rocketry division, for instance, is involved in designing and testing liquid-fueled rockets, including the "StarSailor" project aiming to reach the Kármán line.

• Access to Advanced Research Facilities: The program provides access to state-of-the-art laboratories and research centers specializing in areas such as industrial control, computer-aided vehicle engineering, composites, and computational fluid dynamics. These facilities support hands-on research and experimentation.

• Collaborative Research Projects: Students undertake original research under the guidance of faculty members, culminating in a written thesis that contributes to the field of mechanical engineering. This process involves critical thinking, creativity, and the application of advanced engineering principles.

• Industry Partnerships: The program encourages collaboration with industry partners, allowing students to work on real-world problems and gain practical experience that complements their academic studies. 

• Workshops and Seminars: Students can participate in sessions aimed at enhancing technical communication, project management, and proficiency in engineering software tools, further preparing them for professional roles in the industry.

MASc graduates are well prepared for research and development, mechanical design, and technical consultancy work.

The program also forms a good foundation for those intending to proceed to PhD or research-based professional careers in academia or industry.

Employability:

• Graduates have pursued careers in numerous sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, and manufacturing sectors.

• The program's independent research and problem-solving content equips students with skills that are very much in demand by organizations looking for innovative thinkers.

Academic Progression:

• The MASc in Mechanical Engineering is an apt precursor to PhD study at Concordia University or other premier universities.

• Students also are able to transition into fields such as data science, AI applications in engineering, or technical management roles based on their project-based and analytical skills.
