Overview
Materials Engineering
The Materials Engineering Program emphasizes student instruction on cutting-edge material systems and processing technologies pertinent to the aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy sectors. Students are presented with opportunities to amass in-depth knowledge on a diverse scope of fields in direct collaboration with national and international industry partners. Core strengths of the Program include material design, advanced manufacturing (additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, sintering, metal forming, brazing and joining), and material characterization (thermal analyses, tribology, corrosion and oxidation, mechanical testing, quantitative microstructural analysis) principally in the context of structural alloy systems, ceramics, fiber-reinforced composites, shape memory alloys, and metal/ceramic composites.
Mechanical Engineering
Graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at Dalhousie University are designed to help students develop their independent research skills and strengthen understanding of their selected specialty in Mechanical Engineering through research work, lectures, tutorials, and laboratory activities. State of the art and well-instrumented physical laboratories provide the tools needed to provide innovative solutions to research questions and ensure a thorough understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. The department offers graduate research opportunities in most cutting-edge fields of Mechanical Engineering, including controls and mechatronics, design, thermal fluids and energy, and solid mechanics.
