MEng Requirements:
10 half-credit (H) graduate-level courses* in total, including:
A) One of:
- 3 CHE courses
- MEng project** & Safety Training
- A departmental or faculty emphasis (except for ELITE)
B) 3 technical courses (from CHE or other departments)
C) 3 or 4 more technical or non-technical courses to bring the total number of courses to 10
Of the courses chosen above:
- No more than 3 can be 500-level courses
- No more than 4 can be non-technical courses
Note: Students can take an MEng project and an emphasis
* All courses must be successfully completed (e.g., courses with a grade of FZ, INC, IPR, NCR, or WDR, or courses marked as “Extra”, do not count towards your MEng requirements)** Students must complete departmental Safety Training (CHE2222H) before starting an MEng Project (even if their project is not in a lab)
The table below shows the program length, time limit, and normal course load for each of our MEng programs:
| MEng Program | Program Length | Time Limit for Completion | Course Load | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 3 sessions | 3 years | Fall: 3 technical & 1 non-technical Winter: 3 technical & 1 non-technical Summer: 2 non-technical (or technical) |
|
| Extended full-time | 6 sessions | 3 years | 3 courses / session (maximum) 6 courses / year* (maximum) |
|
| Part-time | 9 sessions | 6 years | 2 courses / session (maximum) 1-4 courses / year* (maximum) |
|
*Year = Fall, Winter, and Summer sessions
IMPORTANT:
- MEng students should take their technical courses during the Fall and Winter sessions, as there are fewer technical courses offered in the Summer sessions.
- MEng students must take their CHE courses during the Fall and Winter sessions as CHE courses may not be offered in the Summer sessions.
Courses can be categorized as either technical or non-technical.
All graduate-level CHE courses are technical unless assessed as “Not for credit**” in the technical/non-technical course list.
MEng students are welcome to attend the Lectures at the Leading Edge talks, but cannot enrol into CHE3001H. CHE1102H, JDE1000H, and other courses for only MASc and PhD students cannot be counted towards the MEng requirements.
A searchable list of courses previously assessed as technical or non-technical is available here
