Program Requirements
Students must successfully complete four courses (12.0 units) and a thesis
Coursework (12 units)
- Four 3-unit courses which must be approved by the Associate Dean Graduate Students.
- At least two must be 600-level or higher courses in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering. The following courses are considered to be equivalent to 600-level CME courses:
- The remaining two courses must be at the 500-level or higher in the Faculty of Engineering, or be at the 400-level or higher in a Science department. Science courses at the 400-level must be approved by the Associate Dean Graduate Students. The following courses are considered to be equivalent to 500-level Engineering courses:
- Students specializing in Materials Engineering must take two courses out of the following four courses - MAT E 640 - Advanced Materials Thermodynamics , MAT E 664 - Kinetics of Materials , MAT E 666 - Materials Applications of Scanning Electron Microscopy , and MAT E 661 - Structure and Characterization of Materials , as two of their 600-level courses.
- Students specializing in Welding Engineering programs must take one course out of the following two courses - MAT E 673 - Welding Metallurgy and MAT E 681 - Advanced Welding Engineering , and one course out of the following four courses - MAT E 640 - Advanced Materials Thermodynamics , MAT E 664 - Kinetics of Materials , MAT E 666 - Materials Applications of Scanning Electron Microscopy , and MAT E 661 - Structure and Characterization of Materials , as two of their 600-level courses.
- Reading or independent study courses will not count towards the total course requirements.
Thesis
- Registration in 900-level THES.
Students are required to complete a thesis which embodies the results of independent research. All MSc students are required to deliver one public presentation on their research.
Seminars
Students are required to attend a minimum of six seminars of the D.B. Robinson Distinguished Seminar Series per academic year throughout the duration of their program. Students starting their program in January must attend at least three of these seminars in their first term. Students who miss the attendance requirement for the D.B. Robinson series will be assigned additional work.
Residence Requirement
The minimum period of residence is two four-month terms of full-time attendance at the University of Alberta.
