Overview

Climate change, energy availability, and resource depletion are today’s global challenges. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is at the forefront of addressing these issues. MSE's research, education, and applications expertise in advanced materials engineering enables the development of new and sustainable technologies, creating innovative solutions for the global environment. As a world leader in materials applications and processing, the department's commitment to excellence fosters innovative thinking in its students, leading to the development of brilliant minds and ideas that make a global impact.

MSE research and studies address the general problem of understanding structure-property-processing-performance relationships in materials. Materials science subjects focus on the structure, properties, and application of advanced materials in areas such as: Advanced Manufacturing & Coating Techniques; Adaptive Materials; Biomaterials & Biotechnology; Computational Materials Engineering; Electronic Materials & Systems; Materials Fracture & Failure; Nanomaterials & Nanotechnology; Optoelectronics; Photovoltaics; Process Metallurgy; Surface Engineering; and Sustainable Mineral & Materials Processing.

Leading-edge research facilities house 11 electron microscopy and surface characterization instruments in the Ontario Centre for the Characterization of Advanced Materials (OCCAM) and five new analytical instruments in the Walter Curlook Materials Characterization & Processing Laboratory, where graduate students learn from world-renowned researchers.

A schedule is available on the MSE website at the beginning of the Fall session, listing the time and room location for each course offered in MSE in both the Fall and Winter sessions.

Not all courses are offered every year. Please consult the department for a listing of courses being offered this year.

All students wishing to undertake graduate research in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering must successfully complete a two-day intensive occupational health and safety training program which will normally take place during the week immediately preceding the commencement of graduate courses. More details concerning this course will be provided by the Coordinator of Graduate Studies once admission to a graduate program has been confirmed.

After the initial safety training, all students are required to pass refresher safety training annually.
