The University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon is a leading Canadian institution known for its diverse academic programs, cutting-edge research, and commitment to inclusivity. With a range of undergraduate and graduate degrees across multiple disciplines, the university offers a comprehensive educational experience. Its world-class research facilities and centers contribute to advancements in fields like agriculture, health sciences, and sustainability. The campus provides modern facilities and a vibrant community, promoting inclusivity and Indigenous engagement. Overall, the University of Saskatchewan prepares students for successful careers while fostering a dynamic learning environment.

The department offers Master of Science (M.Sc.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree programs, as well as a Postgraduate Diploma (P.G.D.) program. In the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs, graduate students complete course work and a project, while P.G.D. students complete course work only. All graduate programs are conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Graduate student enrollment is approximately 80 students, and about half of our students are enrolled in the Ph.D. program. Faculty members pursue research in six broad areas of mechanical engineering: Advanced engineering design and manufacturing Applied mechanics and machine design Bioengineering Control systems, robotics and fluid power Fluid dynamics, thermal sciences and energy Materials science and metallurgy Research programs range from fundamental investigations intended to advance theoretical understanding to practical studies intended to solve current industrial and environmental problems. A significant number of research projects involve industrial partners who provide funding, expertise, and access to special research facilities. The department is home to Canada Research Chairs in Nanoengineering Coating Technologies and Energy and Advanced Materials. The department has well equipped laboratories, which include facilities that are among the very best of their kind in Canada. Research is also conducted on campus at a number of other facilities, including the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre and the Canadian Light Source, Canada's national synchrotron research facility.
