Engineering and Applied Science

WHERE ENGINEERING GOES BEYOND

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

OUR UNIVERSITYFounded in 1925, Memorial University of

Newfoundland is a multi-campus, multi-

disciplinary, public university recognized

as one of the best universities in Canada.

About 18,000 students and 5,000 faculty

and staff from more than 90 different

countries learn, teach, research, create

and engage at our university.

Outstanding research and scholarship,

extraordinary teaching and a focus on

community service are Memorial University’s

hallmarks. Many teaching and research

activities reflect our mid-North Atlantic

locations; these unique settings and our

cultural heritage have led to the creation

of highly regarded academic programs and

specialized facilities.

Memorial University’s main campus is located

in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador —

a safe, friendly city with great historic charm,

a vibrant cultural life and easy access to a

wide range of outdoor activities.

RAJIB DEY, PhD

“Memorial does an excellent job of collaborating and partnering with communities, industry and all levels of government, which makes the quality of the programs and research that much better.”

OUR FACULTYIn the Faculty of Engineering and Applied

Science, we pride ourselves on being a

leader in engineering education and

research and being well connected with

industry and the engineering profession.

The faculty provides the highest quality

of education through teaching and

research excellence, a dynamic educational

environment and innovative programs.

Our programs, our people and our facilities

make Memorial University an excellent

choice for studying engineering. If you are a

creative, imaginative person who would like

an education that will prepare you for an

exciting career and for lifelong learning, the

Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science

at Memorial University has something to

offer you.

Dr. Leonard Lye, a civil engineering professor, associate dean of Graduate Studies for the faculty and Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, is an inventor, entrepreneur and mentor.

OUR EDUCATORS Our faculty members are internationally renowned

professors and award-winning researchers in their respective fields. They are

inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders. Studying in the faculty,

you will be engaged in exciting engineering research and development proj-

ects, many of which will be in collaboration with industry.

OUR FACILITIES You will work in cutting edge laboratories and research

centres including the Autonomous Ocean Systems Laboratory, the Health,

Safety and Risk Research Laboratory, the Manufacturing Technology Centre, the

Computer Engineering Research Laboratories, the Environmental Laboratory,

the Intelligent Systems Laboratory, the Thermo-Fluids Laboratory,

Structures Laboratory, a cold room and a 58-metre towing tank.

Dr. Stephen Butt and students conducting drilling field trials.

Students working in machine shop.

Students conducting an autonomous vehicle project in the towing tank.

Dr. Claude Daley with ice impact apparatus.

OUR STUDENTS As a student, you will have unique opportunities to work

alongside investigators of prestigious engineering projects. Then there’s stu-

dent support. From Student Life to our Graduate Students’ Union (GSU), you’ll

have access to countless programs and services on the St. John’s campus and

throughout the city. In addition, the Internationalization Office helps students

make a successful transition to university life.

OUR GRADUATES When it comes to our graduates, the possibilities of

what you can become are endless. There’s more to engineering than building

boats and designing roads. Engineers become project managers, computer

systems architects, environmental consultants, oil and gas experts, industrial

entrepreneurs and more. Engineering is problem solving and there’s no limit to

what you can accomplish with your master’s or PhD degrees.
