丁香园AV Calendar 2013 Spring

The master of applied science (MASc) is a full-time program with primary emphasis on the thesis rather than course work, is more exploratory than the part-time master of engineering (MEng) program, and covers a greater range of study.

丁香园AV Requirements

The normal admission requirement is a bachelor鈥檚 degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, engineering science or a related area, with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) (B grade) from a recognized university, or equivalent.

Transfer from MEng to MASc Program

Normally transfer from the MEng to the MASc will be considered under the following conditions.

• a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.3 is required.
• on at least two courses within the master of engineering science program, a minimum CGPA of 3.5 is required

Course Requirements

Students complete a total of 30 units consisting of a minimum of 12 units of courses, and a thesis equal to 18 units. The courses will normally be selected, in consultation with the senior supervisor. ENSC 820 may not be used towards the MASc course requirements. At least six units must be ENSC graduate courses. At most, three units may be directed studies.

Additional courses may be required to correct deficiencies in the student鈥檚 background.

If the subject matter of a required course has been previously completed with graduate credit, the course may not be completed again for credit.

Thesis

The thesis is based on an independent project with a significant research component. The student defends the thesis in an exam, in accordance with regulations. See Graduate General Regulations for more requirements.

Graduate Research Internship

With the supervisory committee鈥檚 approval, students may do research internship in industry. The responsibility for finding a suitable internship rests with the student, though the senior supervisor will provide guidance. In addition to satisfying degree requirements, students must satisfy the following conditions.

Proposal

The proposal for the research internship must be approved by the supervisory committee and by the graduate committee. The proposal must include the following.

• justification for undertaking the work in industry
• agreement regarding intellectual property and publications
• funding arrangement

On-campus Presence

During the internship, the student must spend at least one day per week (or equivalent as approved by the graduate committee) on campus to meet with his/her supervisor and attend regular seminars. This is in addition to time spent on campus for course work.

Oral Presentations

At least two supervisory committee oral presentations (not including thesis defence) on the progress of the student鈥檚 work will be given during the internship.

Duration

The duration of the internship will not exceed two terms.

Failure to Comply

See graduate general regulation 1.8 for information.

Academic Requirements within the Graduate General Regulations

All graduate students must satisfy the academic requirements that are specified in the Graduate General Regulations (residence, course work, academic progress, supervision, research competence requirement, completion time, and degree completion), as well as the specific requirements for the program in which they are enrolled, as shown above.
