Master of Engineering Program

 

Did you miss the Master of Engineering Open House held on Monday, April 2nd?
You can view a video recording of the event, including the power point presentation. Please contact Kirstie Miller with any questions about the program.

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in SE is based on a unique interdisciplinary professional degree program designed for students focusing on engineering, consulting, or management careers in industry or government. In order to streamline their studies, students have the option of specializing in one of seven concentrations:

  • Energy and Environmental Systems (new)
  • Computational and Systems Biology
  • Control Systems
  • Network Systems
  • Financial Engineering
  • Production and Service Systems
  • Operations Research

To receive the MEng degree in Systems Engineering, a student must complete 32 credits, all of which must be at the 500 level or higher, and 20 credits of which must be structured courses. The structured course requirements are divided into two groups: Core (2 courses) and Concentration (2 courses). They may be chosen from the list on the Courses by Concentration page.

The remaining required credit hours remain unstructured and can be chosen, with advisor approval, to meet an individual student’s academic needs.  The choice of courses must form a coherent and balanced program in systems engineering.  MEng students should make their course selection in consultation with their faculty advisor.

Master of Engineering students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 to remain in good academic standing and to graduate. All graduate courses are counted in the GPA. Grades of “C–” or lower are not acceptable for the MEng degree.

The required coursework for the MEng degree includes:

  • Core requirements. Two core courses in Systems Engineering.
  • Concentration requirements. Two courses from one of the concentration areas in Systems Engineering.
  • Advanced technical course requirements:  At least two 700 or higher level courses from the Systems Engineering concentration areas or approved by the Systems Engineering Graduate Committee in advance.
