The MASc is a research-based program in which you complete four graduate level courses and a thesis.
You will need an advisor and will conduct research under your advisor’s supervision.
This program is designed to be completed in two years.
Scholarships and graduate assistantships are available by application.
Continuation of your education is possible with this degree.

ENGINEERING MATERIALS
PhD, MASc and MEng graduate programs in Engineering Materials are administered by Mechanical,
Automotive and Materials Engineering upon the advice of its Graduate Studies Committee for Engineering Materials. Research is concentrated on the physical, mechanical, tribological, chemical and processing aspects of materials. The program hosts one NSERC/ Industrial Research Chair: i) Chair in Tribology of Lightweight Materials. Particular research topics include:
Material Design, Development: Aluminum alloys (wrought, cast, particulate, reinforced), structure refinement, nanocrystalline alloys, solidification and precipitation processing, metal hydrides for energy applications, ceramics and cementitious materials, metallic forms, materials for batteries and fuel cells, smart materials, computational materials science.
Material Processing: Surface coatings, surface modification technologies (PVD, CVD, thermal spraying) welding, machining, galvanizing and galvannealing of steels, steel fabrication, nanofabrication.
Mechanical Properties of Materials: Creep and fatigue behaviour, deformation mechanisms, computer simulation of deformation, corrosion, erosion, impact testing, crashworthiness evaluation.
Light Metals Casting Technology: Advanced foundry processes for lightweight castings for automotive engines; aluminum and magnesium alloys; new generation foundry materials, solidification modelling, die casting process control.
