Program Overview

Industrial Engineering (MASc)

The Master of Applied Science in Industrial Engineering is a thesis-based program designed to enhance specific areas of knowledge gained at the undergraduate level and to introduce students to the research methods of industrial engineering. Students will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories and established research centres in a department that promotes interdisciplinary research and development in industrial control, computer-aided vehicle engineering, composites, and computational fluid dynamics.

Program Overview

The program combines practical course work with a research thesis that allows students to focus on a topic of their choice. Students interested in the course-work master's program should refer to the MEng Program instead.

Program Structure

• Degree requirements: Fully-qualified candidates are required to complete a minimum of 45 credits.
• Courses:
  • 16 credits minimum chosen from the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science Courses section, approved by the student's supervisor and either the Graduate Program Director or the Chair of the Department.
  • 29 credits: ENGR 8901 Master of Applied Science Research and Thesis (29.00)
• Consult the Graduate Calendar for the complete list of courses.

Admission Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent with high standing.
• Proficiency in English: Applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate that their knowledge of English is sufficient to pursue graduate studies in their chosen field.
