The PhD in Mechanical Engineering allows students with research-level expertise to explore the field further, widening their knowledge and uncovering unknowns. Alongside a set of courses, students are tasked with a research dissertation expected to be a significant original contribution to research on a chosen subject (often, this leads to one or more archival publications).

For this programme, students may focus on one of eight primary areas: manufacturing and metrology, computational mechanics and materials, autonomous and electrified vehicles, battery engineering, bioengineering, thermal fluids science, and dynamics and controls. No matter which area you choose, as a doctoral student, you will be assigned a primary research advisor and advisor committee.
