Electrical and Computer Engineering, MEng - Course-based option

Degree requirements for the Master of Engineering (MEng) in Electrical and Computer Engineering are listed below. For general program information, admission requirements, graduate faculty lists and/or details on part-time options, see Electrical and Computer Engineering .

Degree requirements

The objective of the MEng program in Electrical and Computer Engineering is to provide the opportunity for engineers in industry to upgrade and expand their skills, including research skills. Graduates of the program will be able to apply what they have learned in a variety of applications in industry, government and academia.

For the course-based option, students must complete 10 courses worth a total of 30 credits.

Undergraduate courses

MEng-Course students may take up to two senior year engineering or applied science undergraduate courses in lieu of up to two graduate-level courses, provided they have not taken similar courses during their undergraduate degree and the courses are approved by the graduate program director.

Courses outside of the program

Courses in other graduate programs at the university may be taken provided that students have not taken similar courses during their undergraduate or master’s degrees and the courses are approved by the graduate program director. At least half of a student’s courses must be within their program in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Students who wish to take courses outside of their program must gain approval from the graduate program director. Students who are uncertain about the academic background needed for a graduate course should consult the course instructor before registering for the course.
