Engineering Science: Master of Engineering (MEng)

SFU's Master of Engineering in Engineering Science is the course-based alternative to the department's research MASc, aimed at engineers who want to strengthen their credentials and job prospects rather than carry out original research. There is no thesis and no requirement to line up a faculty supervisor before applying; instead students complete a minimum of 30 units of required and elective coursework under the guidance of the program's associate chair, with the degree designed to be finished in about six terms full-time or longer part-time. It is open to domestic and international applicants alike, though funding is limited mainly to teaching assistantships since the program carries no research component, and applicants need an engineering background matching the department's admission requirements.
