Program details
Overview
A full-time, two-year MASc requiring 30 units of coursework and an original research thesis, with courses chosen jointly with a supervisor and a supervisory committee that includes at least one additional faculty member. Admission looks for a background in mechanical, electrical, or mechatronic engineering, and students may add an optional paid industrial internship that appears on the transcript without affecting degree requirements or GPA.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states only that applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronic engineering, or a related field, and gives no admission GPA or English-language score of its own, deferring to SFU's general Graduate General Regulation 1.3. Under that university-wide standard, a master's applicant needs a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on SFU's 4.33 scale, or 3.33 on the last 60 units, and international applicants whose prior study was not conducted in English must present IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no section below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, Duolingo English Test 125 overall with no section below 105, PTE Academic 65 overall with no section below 60, or CAEL 70 overall with no section below 60. The page names a graduate program committee that reviews each file for standing in the Graduate General Regulations covering coursework, progress, and supervision; no work-experience, interview, or portfolio condition is stated for this MASc.
