The combination of determining a focus, selecting courses, and completing a project creates a solid academic foundation for your M.Eng. program.

A Strong and Flexible Professional Master’s Degree Program

  • Design Your Own Program

    A real strength of the program is the freedom it allows you to create your own plan of study. We collaborate to define your goals and build a program to attain them.

  • Determine Your Focus

    Our advisors work with you to determine a focus for your program. Your focus area is usually built around one of our concentration areas – but is not restricted by them.

  • Applicable Coursework

    Technical courses are taken to add depth (or breadth); building the knowledge needed to advance in your chosen area.  Engineering tool courses are taken to provide skills for specific applications. Professional development courses are taken to enhance leadership skills, learn systems engineering, or gain exposure to entrepreneurship, to name a few of the many choices.

  • Your M.Eng. Project

    All students complete an M.Eng. Project to add real-world, applied experience to their portfolios. These projects allow you an opportunity to leverage your new and learned subject matter to highlight who you are as an engineer.
