Industrial Engineering (MASc)
Master of Applied Science (MASc)
Program overview
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. You 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. Our department is at the forefront of research and graduate training in Canada. The program combines practical course work with a research thesis that allows you to focus on a topic of your choice. Students interested in the course-work master's program should refer to theMEng Program instead.
