The Master of Applied Science in Industrial Engineering is a research-focused degree program that builds upon undergraduate knowledge while introducing industrial engineering research methodologies. Students gain access to cutting-edge laboratory facilities and renowned research centers within a department that fosters cross-disciplinary work in industrial control, vehicle engineering software, composite materials, and fluid dynamics simulations. Our department leads in Canadian research and advanced degree education. This program blends hands-on coursework with a customizable thesis project. Those preferring a non-thesis option should consider the MEng Program.
Applicants to the MASc program should hold a bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent with high standing. Consideration will also be given to candidates with a degree in a cognate area with high standing; such students may be required to enroll in an extended program. The Faculty Graduate Studies Committee will determine the acceptability of an applicant for admission to the program and may require an applicant to take specified undergraduate courses in order to qualify for acceptance. Qualified applicants requiring prerequisite courses may be required to take such courses in addition to their regular graduate program. Applicants with deficiencies in their undergraduate preparation may be required to take a qualifying program. An ability to write simple programs in a standard computer language will be assumed. Students lacking this skill will be required to register for a course prescribed by the Graduate Program Director. This course will be taken in addition to regular degree requirements.
