The Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE), offered through the Faculty of Applied Sciences, is a research-intensive program that has a primary emphasis on the MASc thesis. The program aims to offer a unique ecosystem for advanced research in sustainable energy engineering. Through training in formal coursework and hands-on research, SEE graduates will be capable of working with integrity to invent, improve, design and deploy sustainable clean energy technologies addressing the clean energy needs for now and the future. Candidates will develop a strong aptitude for research and exceptional quantitative, analytical, and design skills in areas such as sustainable harvesting, conversion, storage, distribution, utilization, transition, and management of energy and environmental resources.
This program consists of course work (12 units) and a thesis (18 units) for a minimum of 30 units. Students who lack the necessary background knowledge may, at the discretion of the supervisor or the supervisory committee, be asked to complete additional courses beyond the program requirements in order to broaden the students’ preparation for undertaking thesis work.
