Program Overview

Accelerated Master of Engineering (MEng) Program

The Accelerated MEng program offers undergraduate engineering students the opportunity to fast-track their Master of Engineering (MEng) degree. Through this program, students can complete their MEng in as little as two terms after earning their Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) degree.

Program Details

The MEng degree requires the completion of 8.5 graduate-level courses. The Accelerated MEng program allows students to complete up to two of these courses during their undergraduate studies. Participants can apply in their 3B term and start this program in their 4A term. Students may elect to take up to two graduate-level courses (one in 4A and one in 4B).

Eligibility

The Accelerated MEng program is available to undergraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering who maintain a minimum 80% cumulative average at the end of their 3A term.

Application Process

Students interested in applying for the Accelerated MEng program should obtain the application form and complete the steps outlined below.

Confirming Academic Eligibility

Admission to the program requires students to demonstrate consistently strong academic performance. Students must maintain a minimum 80% cumulative average by the end of the 3A term. All applications are subject to review by the Associate Chair of Graduate Studies to assess their suitability.

Academic Plan

The academic plan is a list of graduate courses (500-level or higher) that students plan to take as part of the Accelerated MEng program. These courses are taken as "extra" and do not count toward the course requirements of the BASc. Students may take a maximum of two graduate courses (0.5 weight each) in the Accelerated MEng program. Once students have completed their BASc and are enrolled in the MEng program, these two courses can be transferred and counted toward the requirements of the MEng program.

Requirements

• Maintain a minimum 80% cumulative average throughout undergraduate studies.
• Achieve a grade of at least 65% in any graduate-level courses taken as part of undergraduate program.

Priority Admission

Students in the Accelerated MEng program who maintain a cumulative average of 80% or higher in their last 20 undergraduate courses and achieve a minimum of 78% in their graduate courses will receive priority admission to the MEng or MEng (co-op) program upon application.
