Admission Requirements: This Master of Engineering in Smart Manufacturing and Systems requires a bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in mechatronic engineering, computer science, or a related field, with the admissions committee able to consider exceptional candidates from other engineering disciplines; students who fall short of the minimum requirements may still be offered conditional or qualifying admission. The program's own page does not publish a minimum GPA or an English-language test score, deferring instead to SFU's general graduate admission standard under Graduate General Regulation 1.3; SFU's institution-wide thresholds are a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on the 4.33 scale and, for English proficiency, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (6.0 per band) or TOEFL iBT 90 overall (20 per section). The program is aimed at final-year Canadian engineering undergraduates, international professionals with a bachelor's degree seeking entry to the Canadian workforce, and practicing engineers looking to specialize in Industry 4.0 technologies.
