Introduction
The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a coursework-based graduate program that provides a mixture of technical and professional skills to give students a distinct career advantage. The program is designed for students who are interested in learning advanced engineering skills in a specific area of specialization to enhance employment opportunities.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department M.Eng. degree has three (3) different options: course-based, course-based with an academic project, and course-based with an internship. Once accepted into the program, students can apply to enter the internship route.

For the course-based option, fees are applied on an 8 month period, not on a per course basis.
