Engineering Science
The school offers a Master of Engineering (MEng) program. Students in the MEng program are ineligible for university financial support except for the TA. MEng students have lower TA priority than PhD and MASc students from the School of Engineering Science.
間眅埶AV Requirements
The admission requirement is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, biomedical engineering, engineering science or a related area, with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) (B grade) from a recognized university, or equivalent. International applicants must meet the university’s requirement on English proficiency.
Program Requirements
Students complete a minimum of 30 units of coursework. The courses must include:
This course focuses on the management and reporting activities of typical engineering development projects. Through seminars and workshops it builds the student's skills at estimating project cost and schedule, keeping a project on track, and handing over the completed project to a customer or another team. A writing workshop emphasizes techniques for writing proposals, and writing and controlling documentation. Note that ENSC 820 will not count towards the course work requirement of students enrolled in the MASc program.
Students in the course option of the MEng program develop a portfolio of their MEng graduate work. This includes a brief report submitted to the Graduate Program Committee that describes the work undertaken in each course and how the overall set of courses contributes to their areas of expertise and future careers. Prerequisite: Students may only register for the ENSC 870-0 during their final term.

Four ENSC graduate courses (not directed studies)
Elective Course Options
Beyond the core requirements for regular ENSC graduate courses listed above, the following courses can be used towards the remaining requirements:
This course is the first term of work experience in the School of Engineering Science Co-operative Education Program for graduate students. A final report will be submitted and graded by the student's Senior supervisor. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Prerequisite: The student must have finished at least two terms in the program with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 before taking this course. Approval of Senior Supervisor is needed.

Following ENSC 701-3, this course is the second term of work experience in the School of Engineering Science Co-operative Education Program for graduate students. A final report will be submitted and graded by the student's Senior supervisor. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Prerequisite: ENSC 701-3, a minimum CGPA of 3.0, and approval of Senior Supervisor.

Any ENSC graduate course
Any regular graduate course from other departments in the Faculty of Applied Sciences or the Faculty of Science - up to three such courses may be taken towards MEng requirements
International MEng students with a Study Permit should register for at least six units each term to maintain full-time status.
Project
*ENSC 897 is an elective course that can be completed instead of ENSC 870, in which case it replaces ENSC 870 as part of the program requirements. Students interested in doing a project should approach ENSC faculty members with matching interests. Availability of projects may depend on faculty member's interests and schedule, as well as student's prior academic performance. Students who find a faculty member willing to be their MEng project supervisor should register for the course ENSC 897-6 MEng Project. At the completion of the course, the student should submit a MEng project report and give an oral presentation to the supervisory committee. Students who do not complete ENSC 897-6 in one term must enroll in ENSC 896-6 (MEng Project Completion) in all subsequent terms until the project is complete, but only need to pay 50% of the tuition for the ENSC 896 credits.
Supervisory Committee
The Chair of the Graduate Program Committee is the default senior supervisor of all MEng students. When a faculty member agrees to supervise a MEng student for the student's ENSC 897-6 MEng Project course, the faculty member becomes the senior supervisor of the MEng student.
Transfer from MEng to MASc Program
Transfer from the MEng to the Master of Applied Science (MASc) program will be considered if the student meets all the admission requirements of the MASc program, and if the proposed senior supervisor can provide financial support that meets the School's minimum requirement for MASc students.
Academic Requirements within the Graduate General Regulations
All graduate students must satisfy the academic requirements that are specified in the , as well as the specific requirements for the program in which they are enrolled, as listed above.
