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 10 graduate (500- or 1000-level) courses (5.0 full-course equivalents [FCEs]).
- At least 6 courses must be technical, 4 of which must be offered by the CivMin Department (CIV, MIN, or CME course codes).
-
- With approval, 1 or 2 CivMin courses may be replaced by an MEng Project: CIV1001H (0.5 FCE) or CIV1002Y (1.0 FCE).
-
- Technical courses include:
-
-
- Courses offered by Departments within the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering (MSE, MIE, ECE, CHE, BME, AER course codes).
-
- 4 may be non-technical (but must still be relevant to the program) and may include APS and TEP courses, or courses from other departments in 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.

AI in the CivMin MEng
In today's civil and mineral engineering landscape, data analytics, machine learning, and AI are becoming foundational tools and drivers of innovation. Across disciplines, be it structural health monitoring, geotechnical risk prediction, urban infrastructure planning, resource extraction, or environmental systems, engineers now routinely tap into streams of sensor data, spatial information, remote sensing imagery, and operational logs to build predictive models, optimize performance, detect anomalies, and support decision making.
In our MEng program, students in any specialization can gain fluency in these approaches by tapping into world-class courses in data analytics, machine learning, and AI.
Program Completion Options
Students choose whether they want to complete the MEng program on a full-time, extended full-time or part-time basis at time of application. Please note that the program length can impact the length of an international student’s work visa after graduation.
Full-time
- Program Length: 3 sessions (12 months)
- Typical course load: 4-5 courses in Fall, 4-5 courses in Winter, 1-3 courses in Summer
