The majority of graduate programs are NOT impacted by recent government announcements about tuition increases.
PhD students from the rest of Canada will continue to pay Quebec fees.
International PhD fees will see the same 3% increase as Quebec fees.
Program Description
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Bioresource Engineering (Thesis) offered by the Department of Bioresource Engineering in the Faculty of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences is a research-intensive program that emphasizes cutting-edge and engaging learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in original thinking, data collection, and scientific communication to either continue their studies or pursue professional opportunities.
The program may also be taken as an Environment option: offered in collaboration with the Bieler School of Environment, the program considers how various dimensions (scientific, social, legal, ethical.) interact to define environment and sustainability issues.
Keywords: Plant and animal environments, ecological engineering (ecosystem modelling, design, management, and remediation), water resources management (hydrology, irrigation, drainage, water quality), agricultural machinery, mechatronics, and robotics, food engineering and bioprocessing, post-harvest technology, waste management and protection of the environment, bioenergy, and artificial intelligence.
Unique Program Features
- The Department's main research areas include: plant and animal environments, ecological engineering (ecosystem modelling, design, management, and remediation), water resources management (hydrology, irrigation, drainage, water quality), agricultural machinery, mechatronics, and robotics, food engineering and bio-processing, post-harvest technology, waste management and protection of the environment, bio-energy, and artificial intelligence.
- Students in the Environment option pursue their research on environmental issues and will learn how to transfer knowledge into action and develop an appreciation for the roles of science, politics, economics, and ethics with regard to the environment.
