Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.)

The Master of Applied Science program is oriented toward a career in research.  The primary component is the Thesis, which reports the results of an independent research investigation carried out by the student.  The M.A.Sc. program is the most appropriate Master's level program for those students who intend subsequently to pursue a Ph.D. program.

The M.A.Sc. program requires successful completion of at least five graduate half-courses (with a plurality of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering courses) and successful defense of a Thesis at a M.A.Sc. oral examination.  Composition of the course program must be selected in cooperation with the student's academic Supervisor.

The Thesis is the major part of the M.A.Sc. program and is carried out under the direction of the candidate's Supervisor.  Upon completion of course requirements and thesis, the candidate will undergo a departmental oral examination.
