  • This course is offered on a full-time or part-time, on-campus, and thesis basis.
  • The specialization courses of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering program are:
    • Avalanche Mechanics and Biomechanics
    • Bituminous Materials and Geotechnical Engineering
    • Materials Engineering and Structures, Solid Mechanics
    • Transportation Engineering and Water Resources
    • Environmental Engineering (Interdisciplinary)
    • Energy and Environment (Interdisciplinary)
  • MEng thesis is the fastest graduate degree option and is ideal for working professional civil engineers seeking to increase their skills.
  • It allows students to complete a minimum of 6 courses and a maximum of 8 courses, of which no more than 2 courses can be a senior undergraduate.
  • The course topics may include bituminous materials, a theory of transport demand modeling, biological processes for wastewater treatment, and more.
  • In this program, students have to take 2 professional development seminars on communication styles, presentation skills and will also be required to submit and defend an original thesis.
  • A master’s degree in civil engineering will give students the prerequisite for the MSc.
  • Students get the facility to choose to work with a faculty member to create a mini-research project in place of the final 4 courses otherwise they need to complete the MEng course-based program. 
  • Students in the thesis-based MEng are typically first admitted to the MEng course-based program and once the research project plan has been developed, the student switches into the MEng thesis-based program.
  • The faculty of the department provides training to empower graduate students for academic and career success.
  • University provides the opportunities to apply as Civil Engineer in the public and private sectors, consulting industry, or Management.
  • Placements/Job opportunities after the MEng Civil Engineering are Building Control Surveyor, CAD Technician, Consulting Civil Engineer, etc.
