• Normally, it takes 18 to 24 months to complete the MEng degree from University of Alberta 
  • The maximum time to complete the course-based MEng program as set by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research is six years.
  • It is an on-campus, course-based program offered on a full-time basis.
  • The program provides training to students wishing to expand and advance their knowledge of core and specialized concepts in Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Management.
  • The department of Mechanical Engineering offers 3 graduate programs:
    • MEng in Mechanical Engineering (course-based).
    • MSc in Mechanical Engineering (thesis-based)
    • Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (thesis research-based). 
  • The curriculum is comprehensive and span, and a variety of disciplinary strengths which gives rise to opportunities for transdisciplinary research. 
  • Course-based programs in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Management require the student to do more course work than the thesis (research) based programs. 
  • The university provides a vibrant and supportive learning environment and also provides the flexibility to complete the program in a maximum of 6 years.
  • The major component of Mechanical engineering program are:
    • Solid Mechanics and Dynamics
    • Fluid Mechanics
    • Thermodynamics
    • Mechanical Design
    • Engineering Management
  • The key strengths of the programs include robust levels of research output, excellent training opportunities, including professional development training, and high-quality employment outcomes post-graduation.
  • Students can apply for scholarships, fellowships, awards, and grants both internally and externally.
  • Students are required to complete a minimum of 27.0 units in coursework including a 3-unit capstone project.
  • Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 throughout the course of the program.
