Quality Systems Engineering (MASc)
Master of Applied Science (MASc)
Program overview
The goal of the master's program in Quality Systems Engineering is to prepare students with the multidisciplinary skills, knowledge, expertise in cutting-edge technologies and best practices needed for designing, modeling, analyzing and optimizing the next-generation quality systems and processes throughout their life cycles.
The program is designed to provide multidisciplinary engineering and project management training for students on current and emerging engineering technologies, including machine learning, data analytics and data-driven decision-making, lean engineering and supply chain management, artificial intelligence, intelligent quality systems, smart cities, multi-agent systems, data-driven diagnostics and prognostics, cloud computing, Internet of Things, engineering design, and industry 4.0. Students will acquire hands-on training combined with analytical and computer skills that are highly sought after by employers in various industries ranging from information technology, manufacturing and transportation to healthcare and aerospace.
