Solid Mechanics and Materials

Established in 1983, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Mechanical and Aerospatial Engineering (OCIMAE) combines the research strengths of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University. The Institute offers graduate programs leading to masters (MASc / MEng) and doctoral (PhD) degrees in Mechanical Engineering and in Advanced Materials and Manufacturing.

Members of the Institute are engaged in six main research fields: thermal and fluid engineering; solid mechanics and design; materials and manufacturing; controls and robotics; biomedical engineering; and, aeronautical and space engineering. Additional information is posted in the departmental website.

Most of the requirements of these programs must be fulfilled in English. A very good knowledge of this language is therefore required.

The program is governed by the regulations and procedures for Joint Graduate Programs and the general regulations of the graduate faculty at each of the two universities. The general regulations of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (FGPS) of the University of Ottawa are posted on the FGPS website.
