Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Master of Science in Geomatics Engineering [MSc(Eng)]

Master of Engineering (MEng), thesis and courses-only routes

Areas: gravity field and geodynamics; positioning, location and navigation; engineering metrology; digital imaging systems; and GIS and land tenure

See "Engineering Programs" for further degree specializations.

See "Engineering Programs."

Deadlines for submission of complete applications:

15 May for September admission

15 September for January admission

15 January for May admission

15 March for July admission

See "Engineering Programs."

In addition to Faculty requirements, the Department requires:

Students in all thesis programs must complete a Technical Report Writing course. In consultation with the Supervisor and the Graduate Coordinator, this requirement can be waived for students with prior experience and skills in technical report writing.

Master of Engineering (Courses-Only Route)

See "Engineering Programs."

Master of Engineering (Thesis Route)

(a)A minimum of five half-courses, of which at least three must be graduate courses

(b)After satisfactory progress in the student's own research work, enrollment in the ENGO 605 Research Seminar course

(c)A thesis related to original engineering analysis or design

Master of Science

(a)A minimum of five half-courses, of which at least three must be graduate courses

(b)After satisfactory progress in the student's own research work, enrollment in the ENGO 605 Research Seminar course

(c)A thesis related to original engineering research

Doctor of Philosophy

(a)A minimum of three graduate half-courses beyond the Master of Science course requirements. For students who transfer from a Master of Science to a doctoral program, a minimum of two graduate half-courses beyond the Master of Science course requirements.

(b)After satisfactory progress in the student's own research work, enrollment in the ENGO 607 and 609 Research Seminar courses, normally not to be taken in the same term

(c)A written and an oral candidacy examination based on the graduate course work

(d)A thesis related to advanced original engineering research

None

See Section 5.

Expected completion time is two years for full-time students in a Master's program and three years in a doctoral program. The Master of Engineering (Courses-Only) can be completed in one year. Maximum completion time is four years in a thesis-based Master's program, and six years in a course-based Master's program or a doctoral program.

See "Engineering Programs."

Master's Programs- See "Engineering Programs."

Doctoral Programs- The candidacy examination has a written and an oral component. The student's background knowledge in the field of Geomatics Engineering and in-depth knowledge in his/her chosen research specialization is examined.

The written examination is an open book examination of one day's duration. It consists of a comprehensive examination in the candidate's field of specialization and of a general examination in at least one of the other graduate streams in Geomatics Engineering, referred to as major and minor parts in the following. The major part will usually be of three hours duration and will count for 2/3 of the mark of the written component. The minor part will last one-and-a-half hours and will count for 1/3 of the mark of the written component. Passing marks in both the major and the minor parts are required to pass the written examination. A recommended reading list for the written examination will be made available to the student upon request.

The oral examination will further test the candidate's knowledge of his/her field of study in particular, and of geomatics in general, in addition to providing an opportunity to clarify, defend and extend answers in the written examination.

Doctoral Final Oral Examination - See "Engineering Programs."

Master of Engineering (Thesis Route)

A preliminary thesis proposal, consisting of five to eight pages, accepted by the supervisor, is required no later than 16 months after initial registration. Contents of the thesis, reflecting an applied approach to a problem, should contain new elements of engineering principles and applications.

The thesis proposal should include the following:

1. Statement of the problem
2. Research objectives
3. Literature review
4. Methodology and procedures
5. Outline of thesis contents
6. Proposed time schedule
7. Bibliography and references

Master of Science

The Master of Science thesis proposal requirements, including the outline of the proposal's contents, are the same as those for the Master of Engineering (Thesis Route). The thesis topic, however, should deal with original theoretical or practical research in Geomatics Engineering.

Doctor of Philosophy

The doctoral thesis proposal requirements, including the outline of the proposal's contents, are the same as those for the Master of Engineering (Thesis Route). The thesis, however, must demonstrate the candidate's ability to pursue original research at a high level and represent a distinct advance in knowledge on the subject. The research should be of the recognized standard of technical journals requiring critical review. The supervisor and supervisory committee will normally require progress reports every six months during the doctoral program.

None

Candidates are not admitted unless self-funded or with financial support provided by an interested supervisor. For information on awards, see the Awards and Financial Assistance section of this calendar.

See "Engineering Programs." The Department offers a designated set of graduate half-courses in each of the five specialization areas. Additional graduate courses are offered as Special Studies and Project courses. The Department also offers a Distinguished International Lecturer Series, which consists of approximately 4-5 courses offered annually by invited professors and researchers.
