In addition to the Faculty of Graduate Studies requirements and the Schulich School of Engineering requirements, the Department normally requires:

a) For students entering the PhD program with a MSc or equivalent, at least 6 units beyond the Master's degree are required at the graduate level (600-level or higher).

b) For students without a MSc or equivalent, at least 21 units at the graduate level (600-level or higher) are required. Of these courses, 6 units may be taken from outside the Department, no more than 3 units can be a senior undergraduate course (500-level), and three units must be selected from either course or course.

c) In addition to the courses listed in (a) or (b), students must present at the annual Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference before their candidacy exam to receive credit for course.

d) Following the candidacy exam, students must make one additional presentation at the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Conference in the Winter Term as partial fulfillment of the degree requirement.

e) Students wishing to complete the Pipeline Engineering Specialization must complete 9 units of pipeline engineering approved courses with a pipeline engineering project.

Note: The student's supervisor and the Associate Head (Graduate Studies) must approve all courses taken outside of the department.
