The Master of Science (MSc) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta is a thesis-based graduate research program designed for students with a background in mechanical engineering or a closely related field. The program focuses on advanced studies and research in key areas such as solid mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, combustion, biomedical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and engineering management. The MSc program requires completion of at least 5 graduate-level courses and the successful defense of a research thesis. Graduates are trained for careers as independent researchers or for doctoral studies. Financial support is typically available through fellowships, teaching assistantships, and scholarships. 来源： https://www.ualberta.ca/en/engineering/admissions-programs/graduate/index.html
