Master of Applied Science in Mechatronic Systems Engineering

Overview

The master of applied science (MASc) is a full-time program to pursue advanced studies in the area of mechatronics. The primary component of the program is the thesis, which reports the results of an independent research investigation or creative design carried out by the student. Candidates must have strong aptitude for research, including strong analytical and practical problem solving skills in multidisciplinary areas including mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must satisfy the University admission requirements as stated in Graduate General Regulations 1.3 in the SFU Calendar and hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronic engineering, or a related field.

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.

Program Requirements

This program consists of course work and a thesis for a minimum of 30 units. The courses will normally be selected in consultation with the student's supervisor. At most, three units may be directed studies. Additional courses may be required to correct deficiencies in the student's background.

A supervisory committee must be established for MASc students at MSE. The minimum composition for the supervisory committee consists of the supervisor (or co-supervisors) and at least one committee member chosen in consultation with the student. The committee member must be a faculty member, adjunct professor or research associate at Simon Fraser University. A suitably qualified individual may be eligible to serve as an additional committee member.

More information and regulations on supervisory committees can be found in Section 1.6 of the Graduate General Regulations.

Tuition

The MASc program is a regular program, students pay a specified tuition per term regardless the number of units they are enrolled in.

The current tuition fees can be found on the link below under Regular Programs - Faculty of Applied Sciences.

Tuition Fees

Optional Industrial Internship

Students in the MASc program may complete an optional internship course of paid practical experience in an appropriate industrial setting to complement their academic studies. The internship will appear on the student's transcript, but does not count towards the student's CGPA and course requirements for the degree. Students require a pre-approval from both their supervisor and the graduate program chair in order to apply for the internship.
