Description:

The Master of Applied Science degree is intended for students with a desire to increase their Engineering skill set by further education. The program includes both course work and research. The M.A.Sc. is increasingly viewed as an entry-level degree at many engineering consulting firms because of the specialized nature of many engineering projects. It is also typically a prerequisite to a Ph.D.



The School of Engineering offers the following fields of specialization: Civil; Electrical; and Mechanical. Research areas in civil engineering include: construction management; environmental engineering; geotechnical engineering; structural engineering; sustainable infrastructure systems engineering; and water resources engineering. Research areas in electrical engineering include: integrated circuits and systems; wireless technology; integrated micro and nanosystems; and power and energy. Research areas in mechanical engineering include: mechanics, materials, and manufacturing; thermofluids and energy conversion; and mechatronics, robotics, and control.
