Dalhousie University offers a Master's degree program in Materials Engineering. Here is a generalized example of a potential curriculum for the Master of Engineering (MEng) program in Materials Engineering at Dalhousie University:
Core Courses:
Advanced Materials Science
Materials Characterization Techniques
Materials Processing
Materials Performance and Failure Analysis
Engineering Materials Design
Specialization Courses:
Elective Courses (related to specific areas within Materials Engineering)
Research Project or Thesis:
Independent Research Project or Thesis
The curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of advanced materials science, materials characterization techniques, materials processing, materials performance, failure analysis, and engineering materials design. The core courses cover essential topics in materials engineering, including the principles and properties of materials, techniques for characterizing materials at the microstructural and macroscopic level, various processing methods for materials fabrication, analysis of materials performance and failure mechanisms, and the design considerations for engineering materials.
Students have the opportunity to specialize in specific areas within materials engineering through elective courses. These courses can be chosen based on the student's interests and career goals and may cover topics such as biomaterials, nanomaterials, polymers, composites, electronic materials, or advanced manufacturing processes.
As part of the program, students typically undertake an independent research project or thesis. This research project allows students to contribute to the existing knowledge in the field and explore topics of interest in greater depth. Students work closely with a faculty advisor to design and conduct their research, analyze the data, and present their findings.
