MEng in Materials Science and Engineering - Engineering and Globalization in Toronto Canada | University of Toronto

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. Research focuses span the structure, processing, and analysis of metallic alloys, high-performance ceramic coatings, semiconductor components, nanocomposites, and biological materials, with significant attention given to computational modeling and simulation.
Chemical metallurgy topics typically examine oxide reduction equilibria using carbon and metals, characteristics of steelmaking slags, reaction kinetics at elevated temperatures, 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, microscopic analysis, biomedical materials, nuclear materials, nanostructured composites, amorphous metals, degradation mechanisms, mechanical fatigue, joining technologies, phase changes, and crystallization processes.
These investigations focus on comprehending the connections between material structure, properties, and manufacturing methods, while developing innovative materials and sustainable production techniques that incorporate environmental considerations and recycling principles.
This curriculum delivers specialized training in materials engineering, allowing students to earn a career-focused graduate degree from Canada's premier engineering institution in just twelve months.
While many Canadians enjoy basic necessities, populations in developing nations face daily challenges accessing clean water, secure housing, and essential medical services. Engineering students possess the potential to create meaningful change. Addressing these multifaceted issues demands unique perspectives and specialized competencies. The Engineering and Globalization Emphasis program, along with other Center for Global Engineering projects, cultivates these essential skills, preparing students to apply their technical expertise toward solving worldwide problems. The program delivers a forward-thinking educational approach that empowers future engineers to create substantial global impact while developing the diverse professional abilities needed to navigate technological challenges in our interconnected world.
