Getting Involved
There are four main research and teaching groups in the Department: Applied Mechanics and Design, Biomedical Engineering, Manufacturing and Control and Thermofluids. For more information about the various research groups and projects in Mechanical Engineering at UBC, check the Research Section. Research is generally associated with graduate students in the department, but for undergraduate students who wish to get involved, there are technical electives offered in the areas of certain professors’ specialties. Availability of these courses will depend on student interest and may change from year to year.
NSERC
The Department of Mechanical Engineering also participates in the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) program, which provides funding for students to work as research and lab assistants for a term, and gives them a valuable opportunity to participate in new research.
Further information regarding the NSERC USRA program and detailed appliction procedures can be found on the NSERC USRA Information Page.
