 Program Overview  study in america

Lakehead University offers an interdisciplinary Master of Science in Engineering (MSc Eng) in Control Engineering through the Faculty of Engineering. The program is designed for chemical, computer, electrical, mechanical or software engineering students who wish to pursue careers entailing the application of control principles and theory to industrial problems. Students can complete the program on a full- or part-time basis with evening lectures and labs. Part-time students may complete their thesis with the cooperation of their employer.
   Degree requirements for the Control Engineering Program consist of four half-courses, one half-course graduate seminar and a thesis. Upon the approval of the Engineering Graduate Studies Committee, one of the four half-courses can be a senior undergraduate elective course. Graduate courses include Control Engineering Concepts, Linear Control Theory, Process Control, Intelligent Control, Adaptive Control and Topics in Control Applications.
   By the end of the second term, students must submit a research thesis topic to their thesis supervisor and the Office of Graduate Studies and Research. The thesis should constitute an original contribution to the field of control engineering or a critical analysis of a published work.
   All control engineering students are expected to complete degree requirements within two years of their admission to the program. With the approval of the Graduate Studies Council, extensions of less than one year may be granted. Additional details on "Period of Study" are provided in the Lakehead University course calendar.

 Admissions  study in america

To be considered for admission to the Control Engineering program, applicants must have a bachelor's degree in chemical, computer, electrical, mechanical or software engineering with a minimum 70 per cent average. Proficiency in English is required. Admission to the program depends on space availability and on the committee's appraisal of the applicant's aptitude for graduate studies and research. Those who lack specific undergraduate credits must complete the appropriate coursework at Lakehead, as recommended by the Engineering Graduate Studies Committee.
   In most cases, Lakehead will permit credit transfers of a maximum of two graduate half-courses. In some cases, the committee will permit credit transfer of three half-courses.
