Nuclear Engineering, MEng - Graduate Research Project option
|
|
Degree requirements for the Master of Engineering (MEng) in Nuclear Engineering are listed below. For general program information, admission requirements, graduate faculty lists and/or details on part-time options, see Nuclear Engineering and Technology .
|
Program description
The objective of the MEng program is to provide the opportunity for engineers in industry to upgrade and expand their skills, including developing research skills. Graduates of the program will be able to use what they have learned in a variety of applications in industry, government and academia. All MEng students are required to engage in research activities as part of projects in many of the courses.
Degree requirements
For the graduate research project option, students must complete seven courses worth a total of 21 credits and a graduate research project worth nine credits. Under the supervision of a faculty member, students have the opportunity to integrate and synthesize knowledge gained throughout their program of study. The chosen topic is dependent on the area of specialization of the student, using resources normally available on campus. Students are required to write a report and give a presentation on their completed project.
Additional requirements
Students may take no more than one third of their courses from the undergraduate courses listed or other 4000-level courses specifically approved by the graduate program director, provided the students did not take similar courses during their undergraduate degree programs.
Students must take at least half of their graduate courses from the list of NUCL 5000-level graduate courses. Courses not listed and offered by other faculties at UOIT or other universities can only be taken for credit if first approved by the graduate program director.
Courses are offered on the basis of demand with the expectation that courses will be offered at a minimum of once every two years.
