Co-op in Materials Engineering (148 credits)

Offered by: Mining & Materials Engineering     Degree: Bachelor of Engineering

Program Requirements

Program credit weight: 148 credits

Program credit weight for Quebec CEGEP students: 119 credits

The Department offers a Co-op in Materials Engineering program leading to an accredited B.Eng. degree in Materials Engineering. Materials are used to enact every human technology and have shaped key areas of history. In the Co-op in Materials Engineering, students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamental science and engineering of materials and complete three work-term semesters. The program spans the materials processing pipeline, teaching students how to enrich mineral-poor ore, then to process the materials into the desired microstructures and compositions and finally how to use these materials in various applications (aerospace, electronics and biological systems). With the choice of technical complementary courses, students have an opportunity to specialize and strengthen key materials technologies or broaden their horizons and take courses from several interdisciplinary areas.

Students entering this program must plan their schedule of studies in consultation with a departmental adviser.

Required Year 0 (Freshman) Courses

29 credits

Generally, students admitted to Engineering from Quebec CEGEPs are granted transfer credit for these Year 0 (Freshman) courses and enter a 119-credit program.

For information on transfer credit for French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate exams, Advanced Placement exams, Advanced Levels, and Science Placement Exams, see and select your term of admission.
