Graduate and Research Programmes

itt Areata oc say et at af Bhacha

To be admitted to graduate studies in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, an applicant must have an excellent academic record from a recognized university, and must possess maturity and self-motivation. Furthermore, since close technical contact with a faculty member is an essential part of graduate education in engineering, no applicant can be admitted unless a faculty supervisor who specializes in the applicant’s desired area of research offers him a place in his research group. It is therefore important that the applicant indicate clearly in his application th area of research in which he wishes to be +4

A. Masier’s Degree. The core of the Master’s degree is a thesis whose content shali indicate a high level of scholarly research by the student into a topic related to his faculty supervisor’s area of research. Pursuit of the thesis will involve the student in an experimental or theoretical research programme or possibly a combination of both. Wherever possible the faculty member will attempt to arrange financial assistance for the student from his research grants.

where some interdisciplinary research is involved.

The requirements for the award of a Master’s degree are: a) that the candidate obtains a pass in all prescribed subjects, comprising at least four one-semester courses of which two or more must be graduate courses, with an average of 66% or better; b) that his thesis be accepted. In certain special cases the thesis requirement may be satisfied by four additional one-semester courses and a research project of limited scope, but which contains a formal report.

B. The Doctor of Philosophy Degree. This degree is awarded after the candidate has satisfied his supervising committee that his thesis is a substantial original contribution to knowledge and has also demonstrated a high degree of competence in areas of knowledge related to his specialization. The candidate will, to this latter end, take lectures and sit for examinations in a number of courses offered at the graduate level, according to a programme of studies approved by his supervising committee. Approximately at the end of his first year of residence as a Ph.D. candidate a comprehensive oral examination is administered by his supervising committee.

The mechanics of thesis topics selection is very much as described above. Students continuing for a Ph.D., after obtaining the M.A.Sc. at Waterloo, may often continue to work in the same area of specialization.

In order to be admitted to graduate study as a Ph.D. candidate an applicant must have demonstrated his ability to do original research in the course of his Master’s degree work. For this reason, should a graduate with a Master’s degree, obtained without producing a research thesis desire to enter our Ph.D. programme, he would have to satisfy the Department that he is able to carry out independent research.

The supervising committee consists of the supervisor and four other members appointed on the advice of the supervisor. One of these is usually appointed from outside the university, another one from outside the department (often from Mathematics or Physics. )

Comprehensive Examination: A comprehensive examination is normally held approximately 12 months after the candidate has embarked on his Ph.D. programme. It is an oral examination administered by the supervising committee, except that the external assessor may be replaced by a member of the university faculty. On the basis of the examination, the committee decides whether.

a) The scholarly competence of the candidate in his chosen field of specialization and in closely related fields is adequate.

b) The candidate should be instructed through his supervisor to extend his reading of specified fields or even to take further specific courses.

c) The candidate is so lacking in competence in his chosen field that his registration as a Ph.D. candidate should be terminated.

Language Requirements: The candidate must have an adequate knowledge of

at least one foreign language as specified by the department. This requirement may be fulfilled either by direct language examination or by the completion of an approved language course with a final grade considered to be satisfactory. When the native tongue of a student is not English, its knowledge is not normally acceptable as satisfying the foreign language requirements, except when the native tongue is French, German or Russian.

Examination of the Thesis: Upon completion of the research the candidate is required to submit four typed copies of the final draft of his thesis to the supervising committee. The thesis is read by each of the members of the Committee. One copy of the four is filed with the Graduate Studies Office for three weeks and is available for all members of the faculty of the University to review. Recommendations of the readers of the thesis may be in one of four categories.

a) Acceptance as submitted. b) Acceptance with minor modifications as noted.

c) Conditional acceptance with major modifications usually requiring a resubmission.

d) Complete rejection.

Public Presentation: The candidate is required to give a public presentation of his thesis before a colloqium held by his major department. This public delivery will be well advertised in advance throughout the University and possibly at neighbouring institutions. Although this is not construed as an examination, an adequate time is allowed for questions from the floor.
