The MEng program is designed for engineers who wish to enhance their career opportunities in as little as one year of full-time study. Students undergo advanced professional training that is respected by employers and differentiates them in a crowded marketplace. The MEng program differs from the MASc and PhD programs in that it is oriented to learning through prescribed courses rather than through research.
The MEng program can be taken on a full-time, extended full-time (EFT), or part-time basis. The part-time option is intended primarily for engineers in full-time professional practice. Students may begin the EFT program at different times.
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 the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry's additional admission requirements stated below.
-
A Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) degree in engineering or physical/chemical/biological sciences with at least a mid-B (or equivalent) in each of the last two years of full-time study.
Completion Requirements
-
The MEng program normally requires completion of:
-
a total of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) or
-
3.5 FCEs plus a 1.5-FCE project supervised by a faculty member. At the discretion of the supervisor, a second reviewer and/or oral defence may be requested for students who plan to enter the doctoral program.
-
-
Full-time students normally complete the requirements in three sessions (one year).
- Part-time students normally complete the requirements in nine sessions (three years). The limit is four half courses per year and two half courses per session.
-
Students have the option of completing an emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing; Advanced Soft Materials; Advanced Water Technologies; Biomanufacturing; Data Analytics and Machine Learning; Engineering and Globalization; Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Innovation and Technology in Engineering (ELITE); Environmental Engineering Consulting; Forensic Engineering; or Sustainable Energy as part of their degree program. Please see details in the Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry Emphases section.
Program Length: 3 sessions full-time (typical registration sequence: FWS); 9 sessions part-time
Time Limit: 3 years full-time; 6 years part-time
