Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)
The M.Eng. is not a research degree and is intended primarily for candidates who have work experience in addition to a bachelor's degree in Engineering. The degree requires advanced course work equivalent to 30 credits. Normally, these credits will include 24 credits of graduate (500 level) courses – at least 15 credits chosen from graduate courses within the Program and up to 9 credits of graduate courses from outside the Program. For the remaining 6 credits, a M.Eng. student will write an engineering report based on an appropriate engineering project that is listed in project list from the Centre. Typically, the M.Eng. degree can be completed in 12-16 months. The M.Eng. program and admission are administered by the Faculty of Applied Science and the Clean Energy Research Centre.
