Program details

Overview

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Industrial Engineering at Dalhousie University is a professionally oriented, course-based graduate degree that strengthens the ability to design, analyze, and improve complex systems across manufacturing and service sectors. The program is flexible, allowing students to complete the degree through course-based study, an applied project, or an optional co-op project. Students have access to personalized workspaces and ample computing resources, along with opportunities for teaching and research assistantships. Unlike Dalhousie's thesis-based Master of Applied Science in Industrial Engineering, the MEng does not require an independent research thesis, instead letting students choose the pathway that best fits their career goals. Full-time completion typically takes 16 months or longer. The program is delivered in person at Dalhousie's Sexton campus, with intakes offered in September, January, and May.
