MEng in Computer Engineering

The new MEng programs were designed for ECE students who wish to pursue industry careers or become practitioners in the field. The MEng degrees will compliment existing programs by responding to the growing demand for professionals who can apply advanced graduate education to their work. Courses will prepare students for everything from entrepreneurship to project management.

To receive the MEng degree in Computer Engineering, a student must complete 32 credits, all of which must be at the 500 level or higher. A 3.0 (B) average must be maintained to graduate and grades of C– or lower are unacceptable for credit. Students are required to take at least 24 credits of structured coursework (500 or 700 level courses) from EC. Up to 8 credits may be transferred from other approved graduate schools.

The required coursework for the MEng degree includes:

  • 16 credits of concentration electives. This may include up to four EC900-level credits.
  • 8 credits of advanced technical electives. These must be EC700-level coursework.
  • Graduate technical electives. The remainder of the course requirements may be met through graduate technical electives which include all courses at the 500 level or above in ENG, as well as courses in the following CAS departments: astronomy, biology, chemistry, cognitive and neural systems, computer science, mathematics, and physics, except courses for nonmajors.
  • Project credits. Students may take four project credits. They may also count as a concentration requirement but not as an advanced technical elective.
