Master of Engineering (Chemical and Materials Engineering)

Coursework (24 units)

• Eight 3-unit graduate-level courses. The courses are of the same type and calibre as those taken by the MSc and PhD candidates, and must be approved by the Associate Dean Graduate Students.
  • At least four courses must be taken from the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering
  • At least three of the CME courses must be at the 600-level or higher. The following courses are considered to be equivalent to 600-level CME courses:
    • ECE 540  
    • ECE 560  
    • ECE 561  
    • ECE 760  
    • ECE 664  
    • ECE 665  
    • ENG M 646  
    • MEC E 615  
  • The balance of the courses must be at the 500-level or higher in the Faculty of Engineering.
  • 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 four 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 three CME 600-level courses.

Project Course

• CME 900  (3 units) - Directed Research. The project is intended to apply knowledge learned during a students’ program to a technical challenge (industrial/research) or a critical review of literature. The topic will be developed by the student in consultation with the project supervisor.
