Research in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
Research in the areas of mechanical and manufacturing engineering is interdisciplinary and overlap with each other. Active research is conducted in the development of advanced processes and methodologies for manufacturing. Manufacturing has a vital role in the Ontario economy, accounting for about one-quarter of its gross domestic product. The Durham Region Manufacturing Association, for example, represents more than 100 manufacturing companies in Durham Region. The faculty’s research in energy/thermofluids focuses on the development of sustainable energy solutions for generation, storage and distribution of energy. This builds on Durham Region’s strengths in the energy sector, such as the Durham Strategic Energy Alliance (DSEA) and the nearby nuclear industry, which is home to most of Ontario’s nuclear
