Courses
- Students must complete 4 one-term (0.50 unit weight) graduate level courses (or courses acceptable for graduate credit). A maximum of 1 500-level course may be counted for credit.
- Additional Faculty regulations concerning Master's degree requirements are:
- At least two-thirds of the courses used for credit in a candidate's program must be taken from the 600 and 700 series.
- No more than half of the courses used for credit may be taught by the candidate's supervisor.
- The candidate must obtain a pass in all courses credited to their program, with a minimum overall average of 70% (a grade of less than 65% in any course counts as a failure).
- At least half of the courses used for credit must normally be Faculty of Engineering courses.
- Link(s) to courses
- Graduate Safety Milestone
- The Graduate Safety Milestone must be completed by the end of the student's second registered term.
- Master's Seminar
- Master’s Thesis
- Candidates are requested to give advance notice of their intention to submit a thesis approximately three months prior to submission. Two assessors will then be appointed to aid each candidate's supervisor(s) in evaluating the thesis. Normally, the assessors will be members of the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Department, one being external to the supervisor's research group.
Thesis option:
The MASc program emphasizes high level independent research by candidates. The topic of the thesis and the choice of courses are decided by the student and their supervisor(s). Each student's program is subject to the approval of the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies. Candidates will participate in a research program generally involving either theory or experimentation, or both.
