Overview
ECE’s Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program is designed for students who want to pursue their electrical and computer engineering education beyond the undergraduate level but are looking for an alternative to a thesis-based research program.
The Master of Engineering program requires students to complete coursework with the option of completing a supervised project. Students are free to choose among a number of graduate and senior undergraduate courses to complete the program. Find out more on the ECE MEng program website.
Possible areas of concentration include:
- Communications
- Computer Systems
- Energy Production
- Energy Utilization
- Micro/Nano Electronic Systems
- Signal Processing
- Software Engineering
Applicants who are considering taking a Ph.D. in the future should apply for admission to the M.A.Sc. program rather than the M.Eng. program.
What makes the program unique?
Students are free to choose any selection of courses they wish within the program guidelines.
After completing one term, an M.Eng. candidate can choose to conduct an engineering project and write a report in the candidate's area of specialization, in lieu of 6 credits of conventional coursework. Students will receive guidance from their project supervisor in developing their research topic, and students can also design their own projects in this course. Students are encouraged to approach individual faculty members if they have project ideas.
Program Structure
The M.Eng. is an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree; there is no sub-classification on the certificate. The MEng program is not a research degree, and is course-based with a supervised project option. The following groupings of core courses are recommended for students with specific interests. While there is no guarantee that each graduate course will be offered each year, an effort will be made to offer the courses in the lists below:
