COURSE CURRICULUM

The MASc in Automotive Engineering offers a research-focused graduate program with a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with advanced knowledge and specialized skills in key areas of automotive systems and technologies. Central to the program is the completion of a research-based thesis (ENGR 5001G), supported by seminars (ENGR 5003G) and options for directed studies and special topics (ENGR 5004G, ENGR 5005G). The course offerings span a broad range of subjects, including core engineering principles such as advanced optimization (ENGR 5010G), advanced engineering mathematics (ENGR 5013G), and advanced computer-aided design (ENGR 5015G), alongside cutting-edge topics like smart materials (ENGR 5012G) and topology optimization (ENGR 5016G). Students delve into energy systems, fuel cells (ENGR 5102G), HVAC, computational fluid dynamics (ENGR 5122G), and robotics (ENGR 5260G). Automotive-focused courses include vehicle dynamics (ENGR 5310G), aerodynamics (ENGR 5320G), powertrains (ENGR 5330G), NVH (ENGR 5340G), and manufacturing (ENGR 5350G). Additional technical depth is provided through courses in signal processing (ENGR 5630G), wireless communications (ENGR 5640G), embedded systems (ENGR 5910G), and intelligent control (ENGR 5940G). This rigorous and diverse curriculum prepares MASc students for advanced research roles or further doctoral studies in automotive engineering and related disciplines.
