In addition to Faculty of Graduate Studies requirements and the Schulich School of Engineering, the Department requires:
Students in all thesis programs must complete a Technical Report Writing course. In consultation with the Supervisor and the Graduate Director, this requirement can be waived for students with prior experience and skills in technical report writing.
Master of Engineering (course-based)
See “Engineering Programs”.
Master of Engineering (thesis-based)
a) A minimum of five half courses, of which at least four must be graduate courses.
b) After satisfactory progress in the student's own research work, enrolment in the Geomatics Engineering 605 Research Seminar course.
c) A thesis related to original engineering analysis or design.
Master of Science
a) A minimum of five half courses, of which at least four must be graduate courses.
b) After satisfactory progress in the student's own research work, enrolment in the Geomatics Engineering 605 Research Seminar course.
c) Attend six seminars (Geomatics Engineering 605, 607, and/or 609) in total. One page report should be submitted for each seminar.
d) A thesis related to original engineering research.
Doctor of Philosophy
a) A minimum of three graduate half courses beyond the Master of Science course requirements. For students who transfer from a Master of Science to a doctoral program, a minimum of two graduate half courses beyond the Master of Science course requirements.
b) After satisfactory progress in the student's own research work, enrolment in the Geomatics Engineering 607 and 609 Research Seminar courses, normally not to be taken in the same term.
c) Attend six seminars (Geomatics Engineering 605, 607, and/or 609) in total. One page report should be submitted for each seminar.
d) A written and an oral candidacy examination based on the graduate course work.
e) A thesis related to advanced original engineering research.
Independent Study Courses
Course-based Master of Engineering students can have no more than three independent study courses count towards their degree requirements.
Thesis-based Masters students and Doctor of Philosophy students can have no more than one independent study course count towards their degree requirements. Students who transfer from the Master of Science to the Doctor of Philosophy program can have no more than two independent study courses count towards their degree requirements.
