The thesis must be defended at a MASc Departmental Oral Examination.
Course Requirements
MASc students must successfully complete:
CHE1102H – Research Methods and Project Execution, typically completed in the second session of study. No substitutions allowed.
CHE2222H – Safety Training Workshop, in the first session, prior to entering the lab
CHE3001H – Seminar in Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, each Fall and Winter in Year 1 and Year 2
JDE1000H – Ethics in Research, typically in the first year of study
CHE3012Y – MASc Research, typically around 9 months in the program. (For students who began their program in Fall 2023 or later)
Electives – 1.0 Full-Course Equivalents (two graduate half courses):
-
- CHE1100H – Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering(0.5 FCE) for those who do not have an Engineering background
- one (0.5 FCE) course must be taken in a secondary area of study
- a maximum of one (0.5) 500-level course (undergraduate course that may be taken for credit towards a graduate degree) can count towards the MASc
- CHE1430H, CHE1431H, CHE1432H, CHE1433H, CHE1434H, CHE1436H do not count towards MASc requirements
