The MASc is offered through face to face delivery to both full-time and part-time students.  Full-time students must register for 4 taught courses per semester and may complete the programme in 3 semesters.  Part time students must register for 2 taught courses per semester and may complete the programme in 6 semesters.
The MASc is offered with majors in four subject areas:

  1. Communication Systems
  2. Control Systems
  3. Integrated Systems
  4. Energy Systems

MASc students begin with a set of 8 courses.  After these are completed students undertake a sequence of courses related to a capstone research and development project.  The table below gives details of the programme credit structure.

 

Taught Courses 2 compulsory courses
5 core courses in a major
1 elective course		 24 credits
Project Supervised research course (ECNG 6021)
Project (ECNG 6022 & ECNG 6023)

4 credits

8 credits
  Total 36 credits

Project

Students proceeding to the project phase are required to complete the courses outlined in the table below in sequence.

  Course Credits
1 ECNG 6021 MASc Research I 4
2 ECNG 6022 MASc Research II 0
3 ECNG 6023 MASc Project 8

 

The project phase may be started at any point of the academic year as these course are offered in Semester 1, Semester 2 and inter-semester period (summer).  Students would nominally completed the project in 3 semesters.  Students who make substantial progress in ECNG 6021 may be allowed to shorten the project period to 2 semesters by registering for ECNG 6022 and ECNG 6023 simultaneously.
