Online Info Session: Fast-track your Career with a CivMin MEng or MEngCEM
May 6, 8 p.m. ET
The Master of Engineering (MEng) provides continuing and advanced education for recent graduates and engineers in professional practice
CivMin’s MEng program in civil engineering provides graduate students with the tools to succeed in professional practice. The program consists of coursework and an optional project conducted under the supervision of a CivMin faculty member. Students have the option to complete the MEng program on a full-time, extended full-time or part-time basis.
MEng students must successfully complete: 5.0 FCE’s (full credit equivalents) (10 half-credit) graduate courses (500- and 1000–level courses). From these 10 half-credit courses:
- 6 must be in the CivMin department (CIV, MIN, or CME course codes). APS1001 – Project Management, APS 1410 – Waterpower Essentials or APS 1411- Renewal of Waterpower Facilities may be counted towards this requirement.
- With approval, one or two courses may be replaced by an MEng Project: CIV1001H (0.5 FCE) or CIV1002Y (1.0 FCE)
- 4 may be taken outside the CivMin department, and may include APS and TEP courses, courses from other engineering departments, or other faculties
Within the first session of study, an MEng student may request transfer credit for up to two previously completed graduate level courses (grade of at least B+) that were not used for credit towards a degree.
The following emphases are available exclusively to CivMin MEng students:
CivMin MEng students can also pursue emphases offered by the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering:
Students who choose to complete an emphasis must both meet the requirements of the emphasis, and the general MEng program requirements.
Students may pursue multiple emphases, but only one course can be double counted towards two emphases (applicable only in cases where a course meets the requirements of both emphases).
