The MEng degree requires 7 courses, of which two may be a senior undergraduate course.

All courses required to meet the degree requirements are considered essential courses.  Essential courses can include any required undergraduate or prerequisite courses.  Any courses taken in excess of the requirements are subject to approval by the supervisor.  These courses will appear on the student’s transcript as regular courses. 

All MEng degree candidates must pass all graduate level courses and approved undergraduate courses with a grade of at least B-.  Graduate students are allowed to repeat only one course during their programme.  Graduate students are not eligible to write supplementary examinations.  Transfer credits from other university will be considered on a case by case basis.

All MEng candidates must pass an oral examination of their projects after it has been submitted in satisfactory form.

In addition to meeting the grade requirements, failure to maintain an acceptable academic standing will result in a student being removed from the programme.  Failure to achieve the minimum mark as noted above shall be considered ground for dismissal.

The purpose of the graduate seminar is to provide graduate students with exposure to a variety of research projects and activities in order to enrich their academic experience.  The seminar also provides the department members with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with all the graduate students within the department and learn about each student’s research activities.  Finally, the seminar provides student with an opportunity to develop skills in presentation and discussion of research topics in a public forum.  The seminar is run as a one-day research conference every April.

MEng candidates are required to complete at least one seminar presentation during the duration of the residency period, while attending every year while registered in the program.
