You can follow their updates @MSE_McMaster

Things to note:
1) This list is nearly exhaustive. Feel free to suggest more programs/universities.
2) You’ll realize that some universities have a full-fledged Materials science and engineering department while others are incorporated within or created alongside a mechanical engineering dept.

3) From the first option in (2), have a look at other engineering departments
in the faculty such as mechanical engineering (some professors in the department work on materials research), Aerospace engineering (Aerospace materials), Biomedical Engineering (Biomaterials), Engineering physics, and Mining engineering (if you have previous knowledge/experience
in mineral processing). Also, consider some electrical engineering dept. especially if you have previous experience or interests in micro and nanotechnologies, energy storage materials (photovoltaics, batteries, and solar cells), electronic materials, and nuclear materials.
Peep into the departments of chemistry and physics research in the areas of materials chemistry, materials physics, and functional materials.

4) Try to be flexible when searching for professors based on your research area. This implies having more than one area of research
interest as long as you can demonstrate your enthusiasm and past experience (if available). Also look to emerging areas in the field such as computational materials science (ML, AI, IoT, Industry 4.0 in materials manufacturing), additive manufacturing.
5) As a Mechanical Engineering major, you can consider these schools and research areas too. Think of ways you can ink your CAD, Numerical Modelling(FEA), and computer programming skills to what is done in the field of materials. Look beyond your major and consider related areas
that are well funded. These are additional strategies to get funding in graduate school in Canada. Good luck in your search #Stayconnected #RT #share @bestmanojo @OSO_Tee @Olufemiloye @Okafor_SC @yanjus4christ @eniolakiite @KennyOnwukamike

After you’ve seen the research profile/interests of a prospective supervisor on the university/department’s webpage or their personal website, always proceed to check them out on research gate (RG)and google scholar(GS) (google search).
RG & GS is where you find their latest works and get an idea of their currently funded research project. You don’t wanna contact them based on what you’ve seen on the university webpage as they might have moved past those research areas into trending ones.
Hence, contacting them based on the research area “A” they did 7 years ago when they have moved into research area “M” will prove to them that you’ve not done your homework. Also, visiting RG and GS will help you spot inactive professors. These set of people might have their

The feeling is great when you write these types of letters/responses, especially if you have been hammered with series of “rejection letters” over the years”. @ChinazaArinzec1 can explain that feeling.
I could remember that this master’s program was to take me through 🇫🇷, 🇪🇸, and 🇨🇿 . Dear scholarship enthusiasts, keep putting in those strong applications so you get to enjoy not only one YES, but multiple YESSSS (This can be your target too).😁
And when you get multiple opportunities; (1) Ensure you get all the offers in black & white before writing/signing any letter to decline a scholarship offer. (2) Don’t waste too much time in choosing one offer. Remember, you need to give chance to others on the waiting

A lot of applicants become downcast about not having the research experience required for their grad. school application. However, it baffles me how they’ve quickly forgotten that their bachelor's thesis is a research experience itself. 1/5
Applicants whose research project is thematically related to the graduate program of interest should find it easy to convey their research experience in a strong manner. However, if your thesis isn’t related, worry not! 2/5
Demonstrate that you possess skills such as; design of experiments, writing/communication abilities to compare/contrast/explain results in a clear approach, software/design, oral presentation, and independent/teamwork skills. 3/5

If you are in France or considering to take a PhD program in France, please consider CIFRE thesis positions. It’s a position which is borne out of a collaboration between a company/organization and a research lab. As a PhD student, you are employed by the company to work 1/n
their existing/new project (as junior engineer). As you know that expertise from university labs is important, Hence, you’ll get the chance to be co-supervised by a Prof/research scientist from a lab. and an engineer from the industry (providing tech. support). Benefits: 2/n
1) Research training in an industrial setting (2) Complementing your academic research with life in the corporate world (3) Improving your network and contacts in industry for future opportunities (4) Most positions are well-paid compared to those obtainable in research labs 3/n

Still on reading of instructions. As you know, Erasmus programs will require mobility (2yrs-4 semester). During the application process and on the website, it might be stated that classes during the Yr 1 (Sem. 1&2) would be taught in English. Then during Year 2(Sem. 3) 1/n
have to follow the classes in Spanish/French/German/EU Lang. I’ve seen people apply to such programs without reading the instructions. Although, the program might give you the opportunity to take language classes in Yr 1 (2hrs/week) in preparation for Yr 2. Do you really 2/n
think taking a 2hrs/week language course is sufficient to follow your classes. Academic language is different from what’s obtainable on the streets. Most scientific terms have an equivalent word I German/French/Spanish. Don’t fall into the hell-hole of thinking you can cope 3/n
