The Master of Engineering (MEng) program is designed for engineers in industry who seek to expand their skills and expertise. This graduate-level program enables professionals to enhance their practical knowledge and develop research skills, preparing them for advanced roles in industry, government, and academia. Whether you are looking to specialize in a specific engineering discipline or gain broader engineering expertise, the MEng program offers flexibility and real-world applications.
Program Structure
The MEng program offers two tracks: course-based and project-based.
Course-Based Option
In the course-based option, students are required to complete 10 courses (total of 30 credits). This option focuses on coursework and is ideal for students who want to deepen their technical expertise without a research component.
Project-Based Option
The project-based option is for students who wish to apply their learning through a graduate research project. Students will complete:
-
7 courses (total of 21 credits), covering core engineering topics.
-
Graduate Research Project (worth 9 credits) under the supervision of a faculty member. The project allows students to integrate and synthesize their learning in a specialized area. Students will also be required to write a report and deliver a presentation on their completed project.
The project topic is chosen based on the student’s area of specialization, and students have access to the resources available on campus to complete their work.
Key Features of the MEng Program
-
Develop Research Skills: The program emphasizes the development of research capabilities (especially in the project-based option).
