Program Overview

Mechanical Engineering (MASc)

The Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering is a thesis-based program whose purpose is to advance the design of technological systems. Students will broaden a specific area of scientific knowledge, conducting research on a topic of their choice in mechanical or industrial engineering.

Program Overview

Our state-of-the-art laboratories and research centres for industrial control, computer-aided vehicle engineering, composites, and computational fluid dynamics attract students from all over the world. With an international reputation and world-class research programs, our department is at the forefront of research and graduate training in mechanical and industrial engineering in Canada. Students interested in the course-work masters program should refer to the MEng Programs instead.

Tuition & Funding

Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees of the program may depend on your student status, among other key factors. Estimate these costs based on the most common situations.

Awards and Funding

Funding packages are generally available for students in thesis-based programs. They come in the form of awards, teaching, and research assistantships are offered at the time of admission to most students to allow them to focus on their research and studies. Research and thesis-based students are automatically considered for all entrance graduate awards when they apply to Concordia, provided they meet eligibility criteria.

The Quebec and Canadian governments offer a number of competitive graduate scholarships.
