The Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering is a research-focused degree program designed to enhance technological system design. Participants will deepen their expertise in a specialized scientific field, pursuing self-selected research projects within mechanical or industrial engineering. Our cutting-edge facilities, including industrial control labs, automotive engineering simulation centers, composite materials research hubs, and fluid dynamics computation labs, draw a global student body. Renowned internationally for excellence, our department leads in mechanical and industrial engineering research and graduate education across Canada. Those seeking a non-thesis option should explore the MEng Programs.
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.
