The Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering at UBC is a thesis-based, research-intensive program that requires students to complete both coursework and original, supervised research in mechanical engineering. The program prepares graduates for advanced professional and research-oriented roles or for progression to a PhD. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits, including a 12-credit research thesis, and at least 18 coursework credits (with at least 12 at the graduate level). 来源： https://www.grad.ubc.ca/prospective-students/faculties/faculty-applied-science
