Mechatronic Systems Engineering Graduates
Programs
The School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering offers programs leading to a Master of Applied Science (MASc), a Master of Engineering (MEng), and in Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees.
See below for program requirements and details.
The Master of Applied Science (MASc) is a full-time program to pursue advanced studies in the area of Mechatronics. The primary component of the program is the thesis, which reports the results of an independent research investigation or creative design carried out by the student.
This program consists of course work and a thesis for a minimum of 30 units.
Students are expected to complete the program requirements in six terms.
Required Courses
Students must complete:
- two MSE graduate courses selected in consultation with their supervisor
- and two graduate courses from FAS or SCI
and
and a thesis
The doctor of philosophy (PhD) in the School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering is a program intended for those who wish to develop advanced independent research skills.
This program consists of course work, a qualifying examination, and a thesis for a minimum of 33 units.
Students are expected to complete the program requirements within four years.
Required Courses
Students must complete

Enrollment
- Graduate level courses at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV range between 500 - 900, whereas undergraduate level courses range between 100 - 400.
- MSE graduate courses range between 700-900.
- Undergraduate courses do not count towards degree completion for graduate students.
- MSE 900 level courses are reserved for MSE MEng students only.
- MSE MASc & PhD students, please consult your supervisor if you are unsure about which courses you should be taking.
- If you wish to take an MSE 700 level course, make sure to enroll as soon as possible as these courses are graduate + undergraduate level combined courses, therefore there may be limited seats for graduate students.
- Effective Spring 2022, MSE 801 has been replaced by MSE 802.
- For an extensive list of undergraduate and graduate MSE courses and their descriptions please visit the page on the current Academic Calendar. Note that not every course is offered every term. In order to check if a course if being offered in a specific term, visit the Course Outlines page.
THESIS & QE COURSES
Please ensure that you are enrolled in your thesis or Qualifying Examination course as soon as possible after enrollment opens, even if you are still deciding on which other courses to take. You must be enrolled in your thesis course every term, until you graduate.
