Master of Engineering (MEng)
The MEng program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to strengthen and extend the knowledge you’ve gained at the undergraduate level. Our MEng program is intended to prepare students for advanced professional activity in various industrial settings. You’ll complete eight graduate-level courses, graduate seminar and a research project.
All MEng students will be under the supervision of a member of the department’s graduate faculty.
Admission
Applicants will normally hold an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. The minimum requirement for admission to the MEng is B (grade point average of 5.0 on the 番茄社区 scale of 9.0) for the last two years of university work.
Admission to the program is subject to the sponsorship of a supervisor. Prospective MEng students must contact potential supervisors, before applying, where a potential supervisor must indicate interest .

Program requirements
In consultation with their supervisors, MEng students set up their programs by selecting courses and a research project.
Course Requirements
The program consists of a minimum of 16.0 units, normally with not less than 12 units of graduate course work, a 1.0 unit seminar and a MEng Project Report ().
Required course work is subject to the approval of the department.
Other Requirements
The program of study is determined by the supervisory committee in consultation with the student.
The program allows for a maximum of two Directed Studies courses (), of which only one may be directly related to the project report, and two 400-level undergraduate courses. With permission of the supervisor and Graduate Program Director, up to 6.0 units of relevant coursework may be taken from other departments.
All MEng students are required to register in the seminar (), normally until program completion. The seminar has a unit value of 1.0. Students must attend a minimum of 6 of the seminars per term, for a total of 36 seminars over 2 years.
Final Project
The project () for the MEng program is normally not greater than 3.0 units. The topic of the project is subject to the approval of the department.
The work leading to the project must be performed under the direction of an academic supervisor who is a member of the department’s graduate faculty. A detailed description of the project will be presented in a formal report written by the student.
Each student’s program is subject to the approval of the department.
Oral Examination
MEng students will be required to defend their completed project in a final oral examination which is open to the public.
Program Length
The program length for MEng is guided by time limits established by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Typically, the Department of Mechanical Engineering MEng students are expected to complete program requirements within 24 months.
