Program details
Overview
Electrical Engineering (MEng) is a professional, course-based master's degree offered by Dalhousie University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, delivered in person in Halifax with intakes in September, January, and May. The program offers project-based learning and technology-transfer collaboration alongside research, preparing graduates for roles in industrial and small-to-medium enterprise sectors such as telecommunications, electronics, power generation and distribution, semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, and computing. Students complete seven courses (21 credits) together with a seminar course and a final project that concludes with an oral defence presentation, and admission requires acceptance by a supervising professor into a research program. The standard program length is 16 months or longer, full-time. Graduates typically move into engineering and technical roles across the industrial and small-to-medium enterprise sectors the curriculum targets, applying project-based training directly to workplace problems.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a baccalaureate degree, or academic equivalent, from an institution recognized by Dalhousie, in addition to meeting the Faculty of Graduate Studies' general minimum requirements, and applicants must secure acceptance from a supervising professor into a research program before being admitted. The Department's Graduate Programs page states a departmental English-language threshold of TOEFL 580 (paper-based) or 237 (computer-based) for applicants whose prior education was not in English, alongside Dalhousie's general international-student English proficiency requirements. The program admits in September, January, and May.
