Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Master of Engineering in Engineering Practice, delivered on campus in Ottawa over two years of full-time study, with Fall and Winter entry. It is a course-based program rather than a thesis-based one, combining advanced applied engineering coursework with complementary studies in project management, engineering communications, data analytics, and climate change and sustainability. The program is designed to strengthen employment-oriented professional skills within an engineering framework, alongside technical depth in the student's engineering discipline. It suits engineering graduates preparing for industry roles that call for both technical competence and skills in project management, communication, and data analysis, rather than for a research-focused career. Admission follows Carleton's graduate minimum requirements, and applicants whose first language is not English must meet the university's standardized English-language proficiency thresholds.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants to the Master of Engineering in Engineering Practice must meet Carleton's graduate minimum admission standard: a four-year (honours) bachelor's degree, normally with at least a B- overall average and B+ or better in the major subject; individual programs may set additional or higher requirements. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Carleton's English-proficiency standard: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (minimum 22 in writing/speaking, 20 in reading/listening, for tests taken before 21 January 2026), Duolingo English Test 120 overall (minimum 110 writing/reading/speaking, 105 listening), Pearson PTE Academic 55 overall (minimum 47 per skill), CAEL 70 overall (minimum 60 per band), or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 overall (minimum 169 per component).
