The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a course-based program designed to lead to employment in the aerospace industry. Students select from the wide range of UTIAS courses, as well as courses offered by other University of Toronto departments, to create a personalized curriculum. Students can also opt to follow one of several emphases, which provide more concentrated teaching in a specific area, and which are recorded on the student's transcript.
The MEng program can be taken on a full-time, extended full-time (EFT), EFT plus co-op, or part-time basis. Transfer between the full-time, EFT, and part-time options is not permitted after registration (except from EFT plus co-op to EFT). The default registration is the EFT option.
MEng Program (Full-Time and Part-Time Options)
Minimum Admission Requirements
Applicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants must also satisfy UTIAS's additional admission requirements stated below.
An appropriate bachelor of applied science degree in engineering, or an equivalent four-year degree from a recognized undergraduate engineering program.
Completion Requirements
-
Coursework. Completion of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) (10 half courses) as follows:
-
A minimum of seven half courses (3.5 FCEs) must be technical.
-
A minimum of half the courses must be offered at UTIAS.
-
A maximum of three 500-level courses (1.5 FCEs) is permitted.
- For part-time students, a maximum of two half courses (1.0 FCE) may be taken in any session and a maximum of four half courses (2.0 FCEs) may be taken in any academic year.
-
Students must achieve at least a B– average to be in good academic standing. Failure in any course taken for credit may result in termination of the student's registration.

After registration, students may not transfer between program options — full-time, extended full-time, extended full-time plus co-op, or part-time — except from extended full-time plus co-op to extended full-time.
-
Students have the option of completing an emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing; Aerial Robotics; Engineering and Globalization; Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Innovation and Technology in Engineering (ELITE); Robotics; Sustainable Aviation; or Sustainable Energy as part of their degree program. Please see details in the Aerospace Science and Engineering Emphases section.
