dedicated framework. The aim of this work would be to characterize the flow field, including
determination of turbine performance, comparing with existing experimental data and validation of the numerical model. The case study will provide experience in setting up and
solving a numerical model including; generating a geometric representation of the device,
identifying and implementing the required boundary and initial conditions, methods for discretizing the domain in readiness for solving the required fluid equations, running and monitoring the solving process, processing and analysing the results, also drawing
conclusions from analysis and recommending additional research
The engineering final year project is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability to independently carry out a substantial project from specification through to completion. It helps the student develop and practice many of the attributes required of a modern
professional engineer including project planning, project management and presentation of
progress and results. A mechanical engineering thesis is meant to help you demonstrate the ability to do the following:
Mechanical engineering final year projects can be classified into various categories depending on how you obtain your research data. The two main categories of mechanical engineering final year projects are practical mechanical engineering final year projects and theoretical mechanical engineering final year projects.
In a practical mechanical engineering dissertation, the student relies on primary research, that is, you obtain the data yourself. A practical mechanical engineering final year project can further be classified as “Design, build and test or experimental ” projects, modelling of an engineering process, Detailed design of an engineering system and preparation and testing of computer software.
This type of mechanical engineering final year project involves designing a physical engineering component, building a prototype and thereafter testing it. This is the most intensive and time-consuming type of mechanical engineering final year project. It requires excellent time management skills and discipline in order to complete it successfully. You need to start early to avoid late submission or submitting incomplete work. Before you decide on this type of engineering thesis, ascertain the availability and accessibility of experimental equipment and work space.
Although experimental mechanical engineering final year projects are intensive, they will impart you with lots of engineering technical skills which include assessing project requirements and creating product design specifications, using computer-aided design/modelling software, using various engineering equipment to manufacture an engineering product, liaising with suppliers to source for materials, producing and implementing designs and test procedures, testing, evaluating, modifying and re-testing products, analysing and interpreting data; writing reports and documentation among others. Sample experimental mechanical engineering final year projects are given here .
Mechanical engineering thesis types that involve modelling of an engineering process are mainly focused on improving and optimising manufacturing processes by applying numerical simulation tools hence achieving better products with regard to process selection, material selection, geometry among others. Typical manufacturing processes that can be modelled include 3D printing (additive manufacturing), casting and composites manufacturing etc. An example of such a mechanical engineering dissertation could be application of lean manufacturing concepts to a specific engineering process in order to build quality in the manufactured product while at the same time eliminating wastes. This mechanical engineering final year project type is interdisciplinary as it applies multiple concepts such as process technology, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, materials science and thermodynamics etc.
Mechanical engineering final year projects involving design of an engineering system aim at applying mechanical engineering principles to design complex engineering systems that are reliable, cost-effective, efficient and with minimum environmental impacts. For example, the project may entail applying principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer in the design of advanced energy conversion systems for power generation or designing an optimised heat exchanger for a certain application. This mechanical engineering thesis type requires the student to clearly state the function of the system (what the system can fulfil e.g., system to harness both thermal and electrical energy from solar (solar PVT), provide system specifications and have a clear evaluation criterion. Evaluation criteria are the design objectives meant to minimise limitations of the engineering system while at the same time increasing the system benefits.
This type of mechanical engineering dissertation entails developing and testing a custom computer software which can be used as a teaching aid, for simulation and engineering analysis or for computer aided design. It may also involve creating Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for predicting engineering processes and behaviour. Examples of mechanical engineering thesis that involve preparation and testing of computer software are given in this article.
A theoretical mechanical engineering dissertation focuses on secondary research or literature review. In this case, you review relevant published scholarly sources such as peer reviewed journal articles, previous mechanical engineering dissertations and use the findings in those sources to make a conclusion about a specific engineering issue. You can decide to compare and contrast research by other authors in order to establish gaps for future study or apply their findings to a practical situation.
Selecting your mechanical engineering dissertation topic is an important task that you must undertake before working on your final year project. As discussed above, a mechanical engineering thesis may be practical, theoretical or a combination of both. In all cases, before selecting the thesis topic, careful consideration should be given crucial factors like relevance of the topic to mechanical engineering course coverage, complexity of the problem to be undertaken, your interests and career aspirations, and the availability of a willing supervisor. It is worth noting that although proper final year project selection may not guarantee high marks, it certainly increases the probability of success in your project. If you need help in selecting your mechanical engineering thesis topic, you can check sample projects here or contact us. Mechanical engineering final year project selection may be in one of the following ways:
In most institutions, university academic staff propose projects to reflect their consultancy, research, teaching or laboratory development interest. The project titles are compiled and published for students to choose from. Each topic on the list usually has a brief summary of what the project entails and the contact details of the supervisor who suggested the topic. If you are interested in any of the suggested thesis topics, it is upon you to contact the supervisor and get more information about it. The biggest advantage with this type of thesis topic selection is that in most cases, the other students will have worked on the same project in previous years. Thus, you will be able to identify challenges that they encountered and how they tackled them.
You may propose a final year project based on your own specific interest or inventive talents. The issue problem you intend to tackle should be selected with great care. Whilst ideas for the engineering thesis may come in a flash of inspiration, it is more likely that you will already have a rough idea of what you want to do, based perhaps on your working experience (if any) or your daily activities. The easiest way to select a suitable engineering thesis topic that will guarantee success is to view a list of sample mechanical engineering dissertations that have been done in the past. A website like https://www.engineeringfinalprojects.com has a list of mechanical engineering final year projects that you can choose from. In addition, it gives you access to the sample final engineering thesis report for the selected topic as well as the relevant simulation files, 3D CAD models and codes that were used when completing the project. Having access to the final report and simulation files can make your work really simple and guarantee success in your project.
Mechanical engineering thesis topics may also be provided by external companies and this is highly encouraged to increase industry relevance of the module. However, industry-generated projects may have some problems such as commercial security, difficulties of assessment and satisfactory liaison with the company among others. Nonetheless, if the project is carefully chosen and there is full commitment from both the company and the university, the problems are easily overcome.
In order to ascertain the extent to which you have met the learning outcomes of the final year project module, you are assessed against various deliverables. There may be a slight variation between universities but the main deliverables are as outlined below:
After submitting and obtaining approval for your project idea, you will be required to submit a project proposal. The name of this deliverable varies from one university to the other but the content is almost the same. In some cases, it is referred to a scope report, project plan report or simply proposal report. When submitting your mechanical engineering project proposal, you may also be required to submit a risk and ethics assessment form. A project proposal has an abstract which provide a clear and concise summary of the project proposal for a busy reader; an introduction chapter which includes motivation for undertaking the project, objectives of the project and significance of the project; the proposed approach (methodology); timeline or project plan; risk and ethics assessment; conclusion and references. Detailed explanation of what these chapters entail will be discussed in the project format section . However, risk assessment, project plan/timeline and ethics assessment are unique to this section and will be discussed here.
It is usually recommended and, in some cases, mandatory to provide a thorough assessment of the likely risks associated with the project. The risk assessment includes both risk for access to resource, general risks affecting the delivery of the project and health and safety. In this case, State the plausibility of each risk. Provide risk management strategies to eliminate or mitigate the risks discussed. Also, determine whether or not the proposed risk management strategies are plausible and reasonable. The general risk assessment procedure is as follows:
Step 1 – Identify the hazards and associated risks Divide the project into specific tasks. For each task, identify the hazards and associated risks. Step 2 – Identify the current risk treatments
Risk treatment is a process of implementing measures to reduce the risks associated with a hazard. In this step, you should identify the existing risk treatments that are in place to mitigate the identified risks.
Step 3 – Analyse and calculate the risk
In this step you are supposed to first consider the consequences of the identified risk, then consider the likelihood of the risk and finally calculate the risk.
Step 4 – Additional risk treatments and risk acceptance In this step, any additional risk treatments should be identified that will reduce the overall level of risk. The remaining level of risk (residual risk) should be of such a nature that the resulting level of likelihood and consequence are acceptable for the risk owner. A risk calculator or risk assessment template is provided here . You can download and use it for conducting risk assessment for your engineering thesis. Please note that risk assessment varies with the type of mechanical engineering final year project . A sample risk assessment for an experimental engineering thesis is given here. Also, a sample risk assessment for a theoretical or design-based mechanical engineering final year project is provided here. You can download and use them as guides. Please note that The Activity Overall Risk Rating must be LOW . Activities with an Overall Risk Rating of MODERATE or above must be accompanied by a Risk Management Plan. However, the risks must be reduced to As Low As Reasonably Practicable and the Risk Assessment must been reviewed and approved by the project supervisor.
When creating your engineering thesis timeline or plan, provide a clear description of a well thought out project timeline. The use of a Gantt chart is highly recommended. Determine whether or not the proposed timeline is realistic. Identify and discuss all items on the critical path. Note that this timeline covers the entire project in both semesters. A sample Gantt chart for a mechanical engineering thesis is attached. The most common tools for creating a professional engineering thesis Gantt chart include Microsoft Projects and Ganttproject . Ganttproject is free of charge, easy to use and is small in size.
You should address any ethic issues arising from your project work (this is required in all project reports). For students in UK universities, the engineering ethics are guided by four fundamental principles based on the Royal Academy of Engineering’s document “ Statement of Ethical Principles “. The principles are:
When carrying out ethics assessment, you should concentrate on the potential impact of your work , rather than your own honesty etc. Unless your project requires specific ethic approval, a typical ethics assessment is simply a general discussion relating to the project topic. Concentrate on the most relevant issues, rather than trying to find something to fit every possible point
A mechanical engineering interim report which can also be known as mechanical engineering progress report is aimed at monitoring your project through the thesis. It is usually about 15 to 30 pages depending on your institution. The appropriate length of the report may also depend on the type of mechanical engineering thesis that you have selected. If you have any doubts or questions about the length please discuss this with your supervisor. Your progress report gives evidence of research and technical progress towards objectives as well as monitoring of the project plan and management of any adjustments to the project direction. By evaluating the interim report, the supervisor can keep track of what work you have completed and what is still to be completed, and identifying any weaknesses where further development may be needed. Your mechanical engineering thesis interim report is an early opportunity for your supervisor to assess your progress and to provide feedback. By the time you submit the interim report, you should, by now, have a clear idea in terms of what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how you are doing it. You should also bear in mind when writing your mechanical engineering thesis progress report that its purpose is to report the results obtained so far, and to show whether:
In order to achieve the learning outcomes of the progress report, your report should state how far you have progressed with each of the activities that you planned, whether you are on schedule, and discuss any problems which you have encountered or can see in the future. Typical chapters of your mechanical engineering thesis progress report include abstract, Table of Contents, Introduction chapters (aim and objectives, motivation, and significance of the project), Background or Literature Review chapter, Proposed Approach chapter (methodology), Preliminary Results and Discussions, Conclusion, References and appendices (if any). By using the above chapters, the supervisor is able to verify what has been completed. It is also advisable to include a Gantt chart showing what work has been completed. If you have not completed activities scheduled to have been done you should say why not, and explain how you will fit the activity into your future work.
The final thesis report is the single most important deliverable which must be submitted. Since the final report is relatively long, you should ensure that you start writing the report several weeks before the deadline. The exact structure of the report will vary according to the nature of your project but it must comply with the project handbook or guide which usually varies from one university to the other. Nonetheless, the main chapters of an engineering thesis final report are nearly the same. Before submitting the final copy of your engineering dissertation final report, you should check the following:
The appropriate length of the report is not straightforward. However, you project handbook/guide will have information on the expected length. Nonetheless, the length of an engineering thesis report depends to some extent on nature of the work. The report must be fit for purpose and optimised to be as effective as possible in the doing task for which it was created. In this case the task is to convey to the reader (marker) the work done on the project, placing it clearly in the context of the topic background, motivation and requirements. From the assessment point of view the aim is show to the marker the academic and technical competence of the student, demonstrating the project was conducted in a professional manner. The report should be written so that it can be read and absorbed by an engineer having a basic knowledge of the subject. An engineering thesis report will be regarded to be too short if it does not convey the learning outcomes for example, significant details on how the project was implemented were left out, or there was insufficient background to place the work in its proper context. On the other hand, an engineering dissertation report can be regarded as excessively large if it has too much detail, so that the reader is overburdened with unnecessary information or it contains irrelevant details. An excessively large final report may be penalised. Stick to the project handbook guidelines. If necessary, ask for advice from your supervisor on what details / level of detail to include in different areas.
Presentation which can be in the form of slides or poster gives students experience in preparing and presenting a concise oral description of their work with visual aids. Most universities provide the standard presentation template which must be used by all students. A well-prepared engineering final year project presentation provides a concise overview of your project. It should precisely deliver the essential elements of the project and should be laid out to make comprehension of the essential elements of the project straightforward. It should be attractive in the sense that it draws an audience to it and invites further questions. Try to make the poster as visually appealing and engaging as possible such that you grab the viewer’s interest. Ensure you include plenty of diagrams and figures/images and do not clutter your poster with too much text. It should demonstrate excellent content and technical achievement. The poster should be logically constructed and present content at the appropriate level. You will need to demonstrate that you have an in‐depth knowledge and understanding of your project. Also, do not presume that the majority of viewers will be specialists in your field, so try to provide sufficient background and explanation for them to follow your poster.
Your project presentation slides or poster should be typed in a clear bold print that can be easily read from distances of around 1 – 2 metres with the title displayed in a large font at the top of the poster. The chapter titles like Introduction or Background , Objectives , Methodology , Results and Conclusion(s) etc should be in bold and distinguishable. The size of the title and normal text will depend on poster size as stipulated in the Guidelines on Poster Presentation which are usually provided together with the project handbook. Use your own judgement. Do not use too large or too small font size. Avoid too much text. If you cannot fit everything you wish in, you need to assess the risks of using smaller font size. You may be able to put more information in it but will it aid your presentation? It advisable to use no more than 4 different colours, and try to match the main colour theme. In addition to the main content, you must include your project title, your name, student ID and name of your supervisor.
In the oral presentation/examination (Viva) you will be asked questions by your assessor, supervisor and panel members. You will be assessed on the responses which you give to questions and the understanding which you demonstrate regarding your project and its content. When presenting, ensure that you appear confident and enthusiastic and speak clearly with good use of gestures and eye contact. Try not to read your presentation from prepared notes. Do not forget to engage with your audience. You will need to demonstrate that you have the ability to generate interest and also to interpret and answer questions in a way that provides useful additional insights into your work.
A typical example of the general format of your engineering thesis report is shown below:
Most universities provide a title page template for engineering thesis. You should closely follow the template without changing the format or layout. Typical contents of a title page include:
The wordings are usually provided in the project handbook.
It should provide a clear and concise summary of the project for a busy reader. Abstract should be self‐contained. It should enable a reader to quickly assess the subject matter of the report, to learn the essentials of the work carried out and the principal conclusions. It is used to give a clear picture of the aims and methods, and to summarise briefly the principal conclusions. It is intended to provide a frame of reference that will allow the nature of the project to be appreciated quickly. It is quite difficult to illustrate in a few words what your project set out to do. You may need several attempts before you achieve a sufficiently brief, informative Abstract. It is recommended that you write this section last, to ensure that it accurately reflects what is in the main body of the Engineering Thesis Final Report. You should not include figures, tables, or references in Abstract.
This section helps the reader to follow your structure and easily navigate to different section of your report. Check this YouTube video on How to Create Table of Contents in your report.
All figures, graphs and tables in your engineering thesis report must be numbered, given a title/caption, identified sequentially and referred to in the text. Check this YouTube video on How to Create List of Figures or How to Create List of Tables in your report.
List the appendices here if available in the report.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The introduction of a mechanical engineering dissertation should provide the reader with a clear idea of the issue under investigation and its importance, and such information as when and where it was carried out if that is not already obvious. This section should be as brief as possible, but should provide the reader with the necessary background information to give the setting of the investigation. Bear in mind your readers and how familiar they may or may not be with the situation. The introduction sets out the background to the project, states the problem investigated, notes the central focus of the investigation and mentions the proposed contribution to practical or theoretical issues. Therefore, the main subsections of the introduction chapter are:
This provides the reason for undertaking this engineering final year project and explains why the project is important. In this subsection, it is important to give sufficient background information and describe the current state of the art.
Under this subsection, define the objectives of the engineering dissertation. Identify the scope and the assumption. State the requirements (e.g., customer requirements, product requirements, system requirements, algorithm requirements, etc.)
The significance subsection of the engineering thesis introduction chapter gives the expected benefits of this project. Explain how the objectives will advance the current state of the art.
Chapter 2: Background/ Literature Review
Literature review is an important chapter in engineering dissertation as it explains the context and background of the study. Theoretical or research oriented mechanical engineering thesis require a more detailed review of previous work compared to practical mechanical engineering thesis. In your literature review, it is important to set the scene and place the work in context so as to prepare the reader for what is to follow. If the project is one which has been done by other students in previous years it would usually be expected that this work will be critically reviewed to help define the starting point for the new project. Literature review also enables you to identify the gaps on the topic. Literature review findings also provide a means for verification and validation of your project results. Please note that the material to be reviewed must be selected such that only books and journal articles which relate directly to the topic are included. Remember to provide a summary of the literature review in a paragraph or two, clearly mentioning the main findings from the review.
Chapter 3: Methodology
Depending on the type of your mechanical engineering thesis, this section may involve design of a product, model, test program, computer simulation, manufacture and development of a product etc. When writing the methodology chapter for your mechanical engineering dissertation, divide the project into a set of specific tasks and identify the appropriate and innovative approach to carry out each of these tasks. These tasks will vary depending on the type of engineering thesis . For theoretical or research orientated mechanical engineering final year projects, the methodology should identify the databases and bodies of literature that will drive the review and the approach that will be developed. For modelling and design-based engineering final year projects, identify the computing resources that will be used, or the platform for the development of any new software as well as the tools that will be required. For the experimental engineering dissertations, describe the equipment and specific techniques that have been employed. When proposing your methodology, you must first ascertain the availability and accessibility of experimental equipment, computing resources, work space, and so on
Chapter 4: Results
This is the heart of the Mechanical Engineering Thesis Final Report and will consist of text, graphs, tables and figures, depending on the type of the project. Raw data generated or obtained during project implementation should be given in this section and if voluminous should be placed in an appendix. Derived results appearing in the main text should then refer to the raw data. The way results are presented is important. Tables, charts, graphs and other figures should illustrate and illuminate the text. The text derived from the results should not duplicate information in the tables and figures. It should highlight the significant aspects of the findings, so that all relevant facts are presented in a way that draws the reader’s attention to what is most important.
Chapter 5: Discussion of Results
This section begins by first restating the problem that your mechanical engineering thesis addresses before discussing how the results affect existing knowledge of the subject. The following are some of the guidelines when writing your discussion:
Chapter 6: Conclusions
Before writing the conclusions chapter of your engineering dissertation, read through the whole report and take note of the main points. Only conclusions that can be justifiably drawn from the results should be made, and avoid including an opinion for which no evidence is provided in the report. Readers who want a quick idea of what the project is about will look at the abstract, possibly the introduction and almost certainly at the conclusions. Therefore, this section should be clearly expressed to enable readers to readily understand what work has been done and the conclusions that have been drawn from the results. Should state clearly what you have achieved and, in particular, whether you have fulfilled the aims and objectives of the project. If not, you should summarise why not.
Chapter 7: Suggestions for Further Work or Recommendations
This section includes the main aspects of the project that require further development. Each aspect has to be covered in sufficient depth and be supported by argument. Many projects are continued by other students the following year, so this section should provide them with good guidance on what the next steps should be. This is an important section as the examiners often use this information to see how much you have learnt during the project.
Adequate and relevant references (scholarly and of good quality) should be provided with complete details and in a consistent and correct format. Ensure all references are cited properly in text. All references must have a corresponding in‐text citation. All facts that are not either common knowledge to engineers, or statements of your actions, findings or assumptions must be referenced. Use the referencing style recommended in your project handbook. Please consult your supervisor when in doubt.
Appendices should include items which are required for reference purposes, but which would clutter the main body of the engineering thesis final report. Appendices should contain material that may disturb the smooth reading of the report. Other documents like catalogues and technical data sheets should not be included unless they are likely to be unavailable to the reader (e.g., from online sources etc.) – provide a reference(s) instead.

A strong thesis proposal…
Meche-specific structure requirements.
Your thesis proposal should be limited to 6 pages including figures and references.
In addition, you need a cover page that (only) includes:
The purpose of your thesis proposal is to introduce your research plan to your thesis committee. You want the committee members to come away understanding what your research will accomplish, why it is needed ( motivation ), how you will do it ( feasibility & approach ), and most importantly, why it is worthy of a PhD ( significance ).
You intend to solve a real and important problem, and you are willing to dedicate years of your life to it, so use your proposal to get the committee excited about your research!
Unlike many of the papers and presentations you will write during graduate school, only a select few people will read your thesis proposal. This group will always include your PhD committee and your research advisor, and may include other interested MechE faculty or scientists and engineers at your funding source.
Therefore, you will typically have a good understanding of your audience before it is written. This can allow you to tailor your message to the technical level of your specific audience. If you aren’t sure what your audience could reasonably be expected to know, be conservative! Regardless, your audience is always looking to answer the questions: “ what is this research, how will you perform it, and why does it matter?”
While the small audience may make you less interested in committing time to your proposal, the exercise of motivating and justifying your work plan will be critical to your PhD.
While some variation is acceptable, don’t stray too far from the following structure. See also the Structure Diagram above.
Consider the logical sequence of your sections. After the introduction, your audience should be intrigued by a key problem, and intrigued that you know how to solve it. Through the background, they learn that this problem is more difficult than they originally realized. Finally, in the proposed work they learn that your proposal addresses the additional complexity introduced in the background, and they have confidence that you can actually solve the problem.
You need to have a strong grasp of the broader research community. How can you contribute, if you don’t know what is done and what needs to be done?
The point here is not to educate your audience, but rather to provide them with the tools needed to understand your proposal. A common mistake is to explain all of the research that you did to understand your topic and to demonstrate that you really know your field. This will bore your audience, who either already knows this information or does not see why they should care. It’s more important to show where current gaps are. Cut anything that doesn’t answer the what and why of what people are doing. Your depth of knowledge will come through in your thoughtful proposal.
Answer the question: “What happens if your work is successful?” Again, you are trying to convince your readers either to give you funding or to work with you for three (or more) years. Convince them that your project is worth it.
Your research doesn’t have to revolutionize your field, but you need to explain concretely how it will move your field forward. For example, “Successful development of the proposed model will enable high-fidelity simulation of boiling” is a specific and convincing motivation, compared to, “The field of boiling modeling must be transformed in order to advance research.”
Identify the steps needed to overcome your identified problem/limitation. Though your PhD will evolve over time, the tasks and timeline that you identify in your proposal will continue to help determine the trajectory of your research. A good plan now can save a lot of work a few years down the road.
A strong research plan answers three key questions:
Each of these questions should be supported by details that reflect the current state of the art. Technical justification is critical to establish credibility for your plan. Reference the material that you introduced in the background section. You should even use your research plan to tailor your background section so that your committee knows just enough to believe what you’re claiming in your plan.
Based on the tasks and metrics in your plan, establish specific reflection points when you’ll revisit the scope of your project and evaluate if changes are needed.
You won’t be able to predict all of the challenges you will encounter, but planning alternative approaches early on for major methods or decision points will prepare you to make better game-time decisions when you come up against obstacles. e.g.,
I will develop multi-pulse, femtosecond illumination for high speed imaging following Someone et al. Based on the results they have shown, I expect to be able to observe defect dynamics with micron spatial resolution and microsecond temporal resolution. If these resolutions are not achievable in the nanowire systems, I will explore static measurement techniques based on the work of SomeoneElse et al.

Title: Development of a method for recycling fibreglass composite wind turbines Supervisor : Prof. Larry Lessard The term(s) to begin: Fall 2023 or Winter 2024 Brief description: There is growing concern about recycling of end-of-life composite materials. Waste fiber and other materials cannot be put into landfills so recycling methods must be developed. Used wind turbine blades can be recycled to recover the fibers and these fibers can be re-used to make materials for 3D printing. So this project aims to solve two simultaneous problems: that of growing amounts of waste and the need for stronger/more high tech materials for the growing 3D printing industry. The project involves experimental manufacturing based on composite materials theory. Contact e-mail : larry.lessard [at] mcgill.ca

Title: Multi-robot collaborative state estimation Supervisor : Prof. James Richard Forbes The term(s) to begin : Fall 2023, Winter 2024 Brief description : Autonomous vehicles, such as autonomous cars, trucks, and trains, must fuse various forms of sensor data together in order to ascertain their position, attitude, velocity, and angular velocity. Typical sensor data includes inertial measurement unit (IMU) data and some sort of position data, such as GPS data, or range data, such as optical camera, radar, or LIDAR data. In multi-robot systems, an individual robot can also utilize information from its neighbors by having the robots communicate their state estimates. However, the estimates of different robots are often correlated, and without properly modelling these cross-correlations, the performance of the estimator might be very poor. This project will then focus on modelling those cross-correlations for collaborative state estimation in multi-robot systems. The main task will involve the development and coding of a sigma point Kalman filter to enable multi-robot navigation; however, based on the student’s interests and background, alternatives to the sigma point Kalman filter could be considered. Students best fit for this project are those interested in using mathematical tools, such as linear algebra, numerical methods, probability theory, and numerical optimization, to solve problems found in robotics. Experience with Matlab and/or C programming is desired. Contact e-mail : james.richard.forbes [at] mcgill.ca
Title: Robot navigation Supervisor : Prof. James Richard Forbes The term(s) to begin : Fall 2023, Winter 2024 Brief description : Autonomous vehicles, such as autonomous cars, trucks, and trains, must fuse various forms of sensor data together in order to ascertain their position, attitude, velocity, and angular velocity. Typical sensor data includes inertial measurement unit (IMU) data and some sort of position data, such as GPS data, or range data, such as optical camera, radar, or LIDAR data. This project will focus on sensor fusion for robot navigation. The first task will be the development and coding of a matrix Lie group integrator, in the spirit of a Runge-Kutta integrator, but tailor to matrix Lie groups. The second task will be the development and coding of a cascaded sigma point Kalman filter to enable multi-agent navigation (i.e., navigation of many robots). Students best fit for this project are those interested in using mathematical tools, such as linear algebra, numerical methods, probability theory, and numerical optimization, to solve problems found in robotics. Experience with python and/or C++ programming is desired. Contact e-mail : james.richard.forbes [at] mcgill.ca

Title : Reconfigurable metamaterials for soft robotics Supervisor : Prof. Damiano Pasini The term(s) to begin : Fall 2023, Winter 2024 Brief description: Mechanical metamaterials are manmade materials, usually fashioned from repeating units, which are engineered to achieve extreme mechanical properties, often beyond those found in most natural materials. In this project, the student will use the lens of mechanics of materials to generate material concepts for soft robotics. Additive manufacturing techniques will be employed to fabricate prototypes and their performance will be examined through mechanical testing. Contact e-mail : damiano.pasini [at] mcgill.ca

Title : Nonlinear dynamics/vibrations of architected materials for aerospace applications Supervisor : Prof. Damiano Pasini and Prof. Mathias Legrand The term(s) to begin : Fall 2023, Winter 2024 Brief description: When launched in space, satellites need to endure an explosive upright boost that generates extremely large vibrations throughout their bodies. If uncontrolled, these vibrations end up spoiling the performance of their components with the risk of making them nonfunctional. In this project we study the nonlinear vibrations of a satellite component made of ultralight weight architected materials of unprecedented performance. The goal is to model its dynamic behaviour and understand the geometric factors that control its highly nonlinear response at the onset of a launch in space. The work involves a combination of theoretical and computational analysis. Contact e-mail : damiano.pasini [at] mcgill.ca
Title: Can you hear the shape of a robot? Supervisor : Prof. Audrey Sedal The term(s) to begin : Fall 2023, Winter 2024 Brief description : Unlike traditional robots, soft robots can take a variety of unusual 3D shapes. However, it is challenging to estimate the shape of a soft robot while it operates, which makes precise control difficult. Inspired by Mark Kac’s question, “Can one hear the shape of a drum?” Short answer: not all the time, due to the existence of isospectral manifolds. This project investigates fusion of acoustic sensing with other modes (e.g., cameras) to estimate the 3D shape of soft robots as they operate. You will build a variety of soft robot prototypes, develop sensing frameworks, and evaluate their performance. This project will involve fabrication, hardware development, programming, and a little bit of geometry.

Title : Development of a Digital Twin of a Mill Yard Supervisor : Prof. Inna Sharf The term(s) to begin : Winter 2024, Fall 2024 Brief description: Digital twin is an emerging technology that goes hand in hand with increasing automation of machines,processes and advances in IofT. Professor Sharf’s industrial collaborator, FPInnovations, is working on increasing autonomy and intelligence of log loading machines and transport vehicles operating in the mill yards. This will ultimately be followed by moving the operators from the seats in the machines into an office, i.e., where they can no longer directly observe their environment. Furthermore, other processes, such as, measuring the size of piles, are already executed remotely, for example, with drones, and will soon be executed autonomously, thus producing information on the state of assets in the mill yard. Ultimately, it will be important to have a digital twin of the mill yard, which will provide digital and visual information on the state of the mill yard, in particular, location and size of log piles, the location and status of machines operating in it, incoming and outgoing log trucks, the status (e.g., traversability) of roads and other information. Professor Sharf is interested in beginning the development of such a digital twin. This will require identifying a suitable platform to house the twin, laying out the roadmap for building the twin in a sequence of phases sand developing the phase 0 of the digital twin.

Title: Dynamics of photon-driven lightsails for interstellar flight Supervisor : Prof. Andrew Higgins The term(s) to begin :Fall 2018, Winter 2019, Fall 2019 Brief description : The use of lasers to propel sails via direct photon pressure has the potential to achieve very high velocity spaceflight, greatly exceeding traditional chemical and electric propulsion sources, and enables the serious consideration of interstellar flight. However, the dynamics and stability of thin sails (lightsails) under intense laser illumination is an outstanding problem. This project will examine the dynamics of very thin membranes both theoretically and experimentally. The response of a lightsail to perturbation will be analyzed both analytically and via computer simulation. Use of gasdynamic loading techniques (shock tube) will enable the same driving load to be applied in the laboratory, but without the use of megawatt-class lasers. Experimental diagnostic techniques (photonic doppler velocimetry, 3-D digital image correlation) will be developed to study the lightsail dynamics that will eventually be applied to a laser-driven sail proof-of-concept facility. Personnel sought: Student should have a strong interest in advanced space exploration concepts, with general background in physical optics, numerical simulation, and experimental techniques. Skills involved: Experience with photography and high-speed data acquisition would be helpful. Completion of Mech 321 (Mechanics of Deformable Solids) and Mech 430 (Fluids 2) is required for the project. Contact e-mail : andrew.higgins [at] mcgill.ca

Title: Dynamic soaring on a shock wave Supervisor : Prof. Andrew Higgins The term(s) to begin :Fall 2018, Winter 2019, Fall 2019 Brief description : Dynamic soaring is a technique exploited by birds and sailplanes to increase their flight speed by exploiting differences in airspeed of different masses of air. This project will explore this approach by examining dynamic soaring of a hypersonic glider on a shock wave. In essence, the technique consists of “bouncing” back and forth from either side of a shock wave via a high lift-to-drag turn, increasing the net velocity of the glider. The ability to “surf” on a very strong blast wave (such as resulting from a thermonuclear blast or asteroid impact) from ground all the way to space will be explored. The use of the technique on shock waves that occur in interplanetary space (coronal mass ejections, etc.) that might enable spacecraft to be accelerated to very high velocities “for free” will also be explored. Personnel sought: Student should have a strong interest in advanced space exploration concepts and flight dynamics, with general background in numerical simulation.

Title: Rapid transit within the solar system via directed energy: laser thermal vs. laser electric propulsion Supervisor : Prof. Andrew Higgins The term(s) to begin :Fall 2018, Winter 2019, Fall 2019 Brief description : Directed energy in the form of a ground or space-based laser providing power to a spacecraft is a disruptive technology that could enable a number of rapid-transit missions in the solar system and interstellar precursor missions. This project will compare two different approaches for a spacecraft to utilize beamed laser power: (1) laser thermal propulsion, wherein a laser is focused into a chamber to heat propellant that is expanded through a nozzle and (2) laser electric propulsion, wherein a laser directed onto a photovoltaic array generates electricity to power electric propulsion (ion engine, etc.). These two concepts will be compared for a number of missions of interest, as defined by NASA: (1) Earth orbit to Mars orbit in no more than 45 days and (2) Traversing a distance of 125 AU in no more than ten years. Personnel sought: Student should have a strong interest in advanced space exploration concepts, with general background in physical optics and numerical simulation. Skills involved: Prior exposure to spacecraft mission design (e.g., experience with Kerbal Space Program, etc.) would be helpful. Completion of Mech 430 (Fluids 2) and Mech 346 (Heat Transfer) is required for the project. Contact e-mail : andrew.higgins [at] mcgill.ca
Title: Impact of dust grain on lightsails for interstellar flight Supervisor : Prof. Andrew Higgins The term(s) to begin :Fall 2018, Winter 2019, Fall 2019 Brief description : Laser-driven lightsails are a promising technique for interstellar flight, however, sails will experience impacts of dust grains in the interplanetary and interstellar medium. The impact of a sub-micron grain can deposit as much as 1 J of energy into the sail when travelling at speeds necessary for interstellar flight. This project will examine the subsequent dynamics of the sail and the damage incurred. This problem will be modelled both analytically and numerically, and experiments will be performed in the lab with gas gun-launched particles onto candidate thin-film materials. Personnel sought: Student should have a strong interest in advanced space exploration concepts, with general background in materials and stress/strain, numerical simulation, and experimental techniques. Skills involved: Experience with ANSYS would be very enabling for the project. Experience with photography and high-speed data acquisition would be helpful. Completion of Mech 321 (Mechanics of Deformable Solids) is required for the project. Contact e-mail : andrew.higgins [at] mcgill.ca
Title: Percolation model for detonation in a system of discrete energy sources Supervisor : Prof. Andrew Higgins The term(s) to begin :Fall 2018, Winter 2019, Fall 2019 Brief description : Detonation waves propagating in combustible gas mixtures exhibit very complex dynamics, with transverse and longitudinal shock waves that sweep across the front. This project will attempt to model this process by treating detonation as an ensemble of interacting blast waves. Approximate, analytic solutions of blast waves will be used to treat the problem. Results will be interpreted with the assistance of percolation theory, a branch of statistical physics. Results will also be compared to reactive Euler simulations using supercomputing resources. Skills required: Strong coding skills (language of your choice) and awareness in advanced mathematics is of interest. Personnel sought: Completion of Mech 430 (Fluids 2) is required for this project. Interest in nonlinear physics and pattern formation in nature would provide helpful motivation for this project. Exposure to concepts in statistical physics (Ad. Thermo) is also desirable. Contact e-mail : andrew.higgins [at] mcgill.ca
Title: Pellet stream propulsion for interstellar flight Supervisor : Prof. Andrew Higgins The term(s) to begin :Fall 2018, Winter 2019, Fall 2019 Brief description : A promising approach to deep space propulsion that may enable interstellar flight is pellet stream propulsion, wherein high velocity pellets (with velocity exceeding that of the spacecraft) are used to impart momentum onto a spacecraft. Such a pellet stream may be able to be collimated and focused over much greater distances than a laser beam, making it an attractive alternative to laser-driven directed energy. This project will examine the ability of a charged particle to be steered and re-directed via a static magnetic field (e.g., quadrupole beam steering, etc.), both via computer simulation and experimental testing in the lab. The ability to steer a small (mm to cm scale) pellet via magnetic field of rare earth magnets at speeds of ~1 km/s would be a significant validation of the concept. Personnel sought: Student should have a strong interest in advanced space exploration concepts, with strong background in electromagnetism and physics. Interest in or familiarity with conventional, fundamental particle accelerators would be desirable. Skills involved: Basic coding skills (language of your choice) and numerical simulation is required. Experience with basic electronics and microcontrollers (Arduino, etc.) and 3-D printing would be very helpful for the project. Contact e-mail : andrew.higgins [at] mcgill.ca
Department of mechanical engineering.
Students may choose to pursue a thesis as part of their MS degree program, but only with the consent of a faculty advisor willing to supervise the thesis work.
Preparation of a thesis representing an independent research work is a pivotal phase of this MS degree program. It provides the student with an opportunity to work on an open-ended problem, developing a particular solution that is not pre-determined and involving synthesis of knowledge and intellectual creativity. The thesis may involve an investigation that is fundamental in nature, or may be applied, incorporating theory, experimental testing and/or analytical modeling, and/or creative design. Through the thesis, candidates are expected to give evidence of competence in research and a sound understanding of the area of specialization involved. Students are also strongly encouraged to present their research at scientific conferences and publish the results of their thesis research in a peer-reviewed journal.
Students receive a grade of Y (incomplete) in these courses as long as the thesis in progress. Eventual thesis grades replace the incomplete grades upon formal completion of the thesis. In order to receive a grade of Y for ME-0296, students must submit a thesis prospectus that outlines the area of work, thesis goals, proposed approach and a review of relevant past work in the literature before the end of the first semester in which the student enrolls in ME-0296, typically the third semester of full-time study. An example of a recent MS thesis prospectus can be found in the Mechanical Engineering office.
The examining committee for MS candidates completing theses should be composed of three (3) members.
The committee chair is normally a full-time, tenure-track faculty member. One committee member must be from outside the ME department. Thesis normally counts as 9 credits towards the MS degree requirements. However, a student, with the approval of his/her thesis advisor, has the option to complete a 6-credit thesis by submitting a petition form to the Department. This petition must be signed by the student and the thesis advisor and will become part of the student's academic record. With a 6-credit thesis, a student must complete an extra graduate-level course (for a total of 8 courses) to fulfill the 30-credit requirement for graduation. This option is not typically available to those intending to pursue a Ph.D. degree.
The MS thesis is completed upon:
The student should consult the Graduate Student Handbook for specific dates and deadlines for this process in the graduation semester.
A dissertation or thesis is a document submitted in support of candidature for a degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings. (International Standard ISO 7144: Documentation — Presentation of theses and similar documents ).
For most universities in the U.S., dissertation is the term for the required submission for the PhD, and thesis refers only to the master's degree requirement.
T he best source to find theses is ProQuest Dissertations & Thesis Global . Policies regarding theses and dissertation collections largely vary between universities. So check the library website of the university of interest.
Carnegie Mellon theses are now ONLINE and can be searched through the ProQuest database Dissertations & Theses @ Carnegie Mellon University that enables access to citations and abstracts of all dissertations and theses, as well as the fulltext in PDF format. Scroll down and select Dissertations & Theses, then do a regular search. Print versions are also available in the libraries collection.
The Carnegie Mellon Library catalog , uses the term THESIS to denote both masters' theses and dissertations. However, the number of master's theses is limited. Within the libraries, theses are located in designated areas and are shelved in alphabetical order by the author's last name. The catalog treats theses and dissertations like books and they can be borrowed as such. Theses may be in print, microfiche, or microform.
Center for Research Libraries: Foreign Doctoral Dissertations CRL has more than 800,000 cataloged foreign doctoral dissertations from more than 90 countries and over 1200 institutions.

M.s. degree thesis requirements.
Thesis requirements apply to all students in the thesis option, including part-time and online students.
Students in the thesis option need to register for a total of 12 thesis credits: ME 700.
To formally opt into the thesis track, students must complete the following three steps. There is no hard deadline by when these steps must be completed; however, students are recommended to enter the thesis track as soon as possible after enrolling in the MS program.
The ME Department requires that students who plan to write a thesis have at least three committee members, including the faculty supervisor who serves as Committee Chair. These must be members of the graduate faculty. The Committee Chair must be from the Mechanical Engineering Department core faculty. Core faculty comprises Mechanical Engineering Faculty in all ranks with tenure or tenure-track appointments, and research, emeritus, and joint appointments. Faculty with adjunct and affiliate ranks are not included. The Department further requires that at least one committee member be core Mechanical Engineering faculty.
Alternatively, non-core faculty may act as Committee Chair, but in that case, the remaining members of the thesis committee must include at least two core faculty members. All M.S. thesis committees must include at least two core Mechanical Engineering faculty.
The thesis proposal should be submitted by the student, to the ME Graduate Adviser, as soon as possible after the student identifies their supervisor and before the student may begin registering for thesis credits (ME 700). The proposal should include:
The ME Graduate Adviser will provide the thesis proposal to the ME Department Chair for review. Students will be notified of the outcome of the review via a formal letter emailed to them on behalf of the Department Chair. Students whose thesis proposals are approved must save their approval letter, as they must provide it when officially notifying the ME Department of their M.S. thesis presentation during their final quarter (see instructions below)
During the student’s final quarter, they must request graduation from the Graduate School; have their written thesis approved by their committee; and make their M.S. thesis presentation (prior to the last day of class instruction) before an audience that includes their committee, other faculty, and invited guests.
Students are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with Graduate School policies about Submitting a Thesis/Dissertation during the beginning stages of research.
At least one week before their M.S. presentation, the student must formally notify the ME Department of their presentation by completing the M.S. Thesis Presentation Information web form and providing the following details:
The morning of the presentation, the student must stop by the ME office to pick up their Master's Degree Graduation Committee Signature Form and Masters Supervisory Committee Approval Form. Both documents must be signed by the committee at the conclusion of the student's presentation or when the committee determines that the student's thesis is ready for submission to the Graduate School.
After their M.S. presentation, the student must return the signed Committee Signature Form to the ME office.
By 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the quarter, students must submit a final, electronic copy of their thesis and Master's Supervisory Committee Approval Form to the Graduate School through the ETD administrator site.
Students who make their M.S. presentation but cannot submit their thesis by the deadline should consider applying for the Graduate Registration Waiver Fee or registering for the following quarter. Students should see the ME Graduate Adviser immediately to learn about their options in the case that they cannot submit their thesis by the deadline.
It is your responsibility to make sure all degree requirements have been met, before filing for candidacy. Registering for candidacy 3 times in a row attracts a fee of $200 from the Purdue Graduate School.
To help review if all degree requirements have been met, please check against the list below:
If yes, have you submitted the internal PhD application? (Should be done before the semester ends, or otherwise you’ll need to apply through Slate and meet all application requirements.) You will need to have a faculty advisor agree to support you before applying for the PhD program.

WSE ranked No. 14 overall
Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is ranked No. 13 according to U.S. News & World Report ‘s annual Best Graduate Schools rankings, up one spot from last year’s rankings. Johns Hopkins’ engineering graduate programs are again ranked among the nation’s best, as the Whiting School of Engineering retained its No. 14 spot, tied with UCLA. Five engineering graduate programs saw their rankings improve this year, and every graduate program is ranked among the top 25 in its category.
Graduate engineering programs are evaluated by U.S. News based on a comprehensive set of factors, including a school’s research expenditures, faculty productivity, admissions selectivity, and its reputation among peers and the employers who hire its graduates. Changes to this year’s methodology included using bibliometric data, including publications and citations, as new overall ranking indicators.
See the full list here .
U.S. News and Word Report has again placed MIT’s graduate program in engineering at the top of its annual rankings, released today. The Institute has held the No. 1 spot since 1990, when the magazine first ranked such programs.
The MIT Sloan School of Management also placed highly, in rankings announced April 9. It occupies the No. 5 spot for the best graduate business programs.
Among individual engineering disciplines, MIT placed first in six areas: aerospace/aeronautical/astronautical engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering (tied with Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley), electrical/electronic/communications engineering, materials engineering, and mechanical engineering. It placed second in biomedical engineering/bioengineering (tied with Duke University, Georgia Tech, and Stanford) and nuclear engineering.
In the rankings of individual MBA specialties, MIT placed first in four areas: business analytics, information systems, production/operations, and project management (tied with Carnegie Mellon University). It placed second in supply chain/logistics.
U.S. News bases its rankings of graduate schools of engineering and business on two types of data: reputational surveys of deans and other academic officials, and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research, and students. The magazine’s less-frequent rankings of graduate programs in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities are based solely on reputational surveys. Among the 12 peer-review disciplines ranked this year, MIT placed first in computer science.
