Graduate Studies in Engineering
The graduate programs offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science have grown tremendously in the past few years, both in terms of student strength and variety of courses and programs.
We offer thesis-based graduate programs both at the master's and doctoral levels in civil, electrical, computer, mechanical, ocean and naval architectural, and oil and gas engineering.
Course-based master's programs in computer engineering; environmental systems engineering and management; and oil and gas engineering are available for full-time students, and in engineering management (offered jointly with the Faculty of Business Administration) for full- and part-time students.
Most full-time graduate students in thesis-based degree programs receive financial assistantship.
An industry internship option is also available for students to spend a portion of their degree program working for a company in the area of their thesis research.
Currently, there are approximately 275 graduate students in the faculty. The Engineering Graduate Students Society makes the graduate students' experience enjoyable by offering help to individual students and by organizing social events.
The Continuing Engineering Education division offers courses throughout the year for the benefit of engineering professionals to stay abreast of the technological developments.
Our faculty members are increasingly engaged in major research programs supported by NSERC, AIF, CRC and CFI, providing students unique opportunities to work alongside investigators of prestigious projects. Visit the program websites for details on each of the programs.
