The Department of Materials Science and Engineering provides advanced degree programs including Master of Applied Science (MASc), Master of Engineering (MEng), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Qualified students can pursue graduate studies and research across various disciplines. The department's research spans multiple domains including metal alloy structures, ceramic coatings, semiconductor technology, nanocomposites, and biomaterials, with significant focus on computational modeling and simulation.
Chemical metallurgy topics typically examine oxide reduction processes, iron and steelmaking slag characteristics, high-temperature reaction dynamics, metallurgical process modeling, extractive metallurgy, and hydrometallurgical techniques. Physical metallurgy and materials science explore the characteristics of metals, ceramics, and polymers in areas like deformation mechanics, surface science, microscopy techniques, biomedical materials, nuclear materials, nanocomposites, amorphous metals, degradation mechanisms, mechanical fatigue, joining technologies, phase changes, and solidification processes.
These investigations aim to elucidate the connections between material structures, properties, and manufacturing processes, while developing innovative materials and sustainable production methods that incorporate lifecycle assessment and recycling considerations.
This curriculum delivers specialized training in materials engineering, enabling students to earn a career-focused graduate degree from Canada's premier engineering institution within twelve months.
Data Analytics encompasses systematic data processing for descriptive (historical analysis), predictive (future forecasting), and prescriptive (decision optimization) purposes. Machine Learning employs computational techniques to identify patterns, derive meaningful correlations, and extract knowledge from datasets. Together, these fields drive technological advancements across diverse applications such as customized online retail, digital security, smart supply chain management, investment strategies, targeted advertising, interactive systems, and healthcare technologies including diagnostic image processing.
