Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)

The intent of the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program is to prepare graduate engineers for advanced professional practice.  This is accomplished through completion of graduate level courses, although many students include a project in their program.  The M.Eng. program is primarily taken on a part-time basis by practicing engineers, although a minority of students complete the entire program on a full-time basis.

The M.Eng. program requires successful completion of at least ten half-courses (with a plurality of mechanical and industrial engineering courses) at the graduate level.  A Project Report, supervised by a professor in accordance with departmental regulations, will be accepted in lieu of three half-courses.

Although M.Eng. degree holders are not normally expected to enter a Ph.D. program, they are not barred from doing so.  M.Eng. students who might eventually wish to engage in a Ph.D. program should complete a 3-credit Project Report designed to demonstrate their research abilities, and should include at least two Ph.D. core courses in their program of study.

Effective September 2008:  A University of Toronto Fellowship is available for domestic full-time M.Eng.  students for the first year of study.
