Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Master of Science (MSc)

Master of Engineering (MEng), thesis and course-only routes

Areas: applied mechanics, automation, control, robotics and nano MEMS, biomechanics, design, manufacturing systems, materials and manufacturing processes, thermo-fluids, energy systems and environment

In addition, the Department offers a Master of Engineering program (course-based route or thesis route) with specialization in Environmental Engineering.

The Universities of Calgary and Alberta offer a joint Biomedical Engineering Program. Further information can be obtained at the website http://www.schulich.ucalgary.ca/Biomedical/.

In addition to the Faculty of Graduate Studies requirements and the Faculty of Engineering minimum requirements, the Department's requirements are as follows:

Master's Programs

(a)BSc degree or equivalent

(b)A minimum admission grade point average of 3.00 on a four-point scale or equivalent

Doctor of Philosophy

MSc degree, or transfer from MSc program with a BSc degree grade point average of 3.60 or higher on a four-point scale. Transfer from MSc to PhD program is allowed only after the successful completion of all courses required for the MSc degree with a grade point average of 3.50 or higher on a four-point scale.

Deadlines for submission of complete applications:

15 April for September admission

15 August for January admission

15 December for May admission

The applicant must make advanced credit requests as part of the admission process. Credit will not be given for course work taken as part of another completed degree/diploma or for courses taken to bring the grade point average to a required level for admission.

In addition to Faculty requirements, the Department requires:

Master of Engineering (Courses Only)

Ten half-courses, no more than four of which can be senior undergraduate courses

Master of Engineering (Thesis)

(a)Five to six half-courses

(b)Presentation of one research seminar when registered in ENME/ENMF 613

Master of Engineering (Courses Only), Specialization in Environmental Engineering

Ten to twelve half-courses approved for each student by the Department Head or designate

Master of Engineering (Thesis), Specialization in Environmental Engineering

(a)Five to eight half-courses approved for each student by the Department Head or designate

(b)Presentation of one research seminar when registered in ENME/ENMF 613

Master of Science

(a)Five to six half-courses of which two may be taken from outside the Department: one course to be selected from Mechanical Engineering 631 - Numerical Methods for Engineers or Mechanical Engineering 633 - Mathematical Techniques for Engineers;

(b)Presentation of one research seminar when registered in ENME/ENMF 613

Doctor of Philosophy

(a)Seven to ten half-courses beyond the Bachelor's degree: one to be selected from Mechanical Engineering 631 or Mechanical Engineering 633, or two to six half-courses beyond the Master's degree. Up to two half-courses may be taken from outside the Department

(b)Presentation of one research seminar when registered in ENME/ENMF 713

Note: Further details of Departmental requirements are listed in the Department's Graduate Studies Guidebook.

None

See Section 5 for details.

Expected completion time is two years for full-time students in the Master of Science program and four years in the doctoral program. Maximum completion time is four years for students in the Master of Science and Master of Engineering (Thesis) programs, and six years for students in the Master of Engineering (Course-based) or the doctoral programs.

Students are normally assigned supervisors before admission.

See "Engineering Programs."

None beyond Graduate Studies' requirements

None

See "Engineering Programs."

Students enrolled in any of the engineering graduate programs may opt, in addition to their normal required course load, to undertake an international project outside Canada. The duration of the project should be between 4 and 6 months. Upon successful completion (on a credit/fail basis) of Engineering 689, the statement "International Graduate Internship Project" will appear on the parchment. The course is not repeatable for credit.
