Program Description

Ottawa-Carleton Joint Program

Established in 1983, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Mechanical and Aerospace 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.

Research activities can be conducted either in English, French or both, depending on the language used by the professor and the members of his or her research group.

Research facilities are shared between the two campuses. Students have access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities.

Main Areas of Research

• Thermal and fluid engineering
• Solid mechanics and design
• Materials and manufacturing
• Controls and robotics
• Biomedical engineering
• Aeronautical and space engineering

Other Programs Offered Within the Same Discipline or in a Related Area

• Master of Engineering Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (MASc)
• Master of Engineering Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (MEng)
• Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering (MASc)
• Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (MEng)
• Doctorate in Philosophy Mechanical Engineering (PhD)

Fees and Funding

• Program fees

The estimated amount for university fees associated with this program are available under the section Finance your studies.
