Program Requirements

Students are required to complete a minimum of ★30.5 in coursework including a ★3 capstone project.

Coursework

Nine ★3 graduate-level courses which must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator
- five must be in the candidate’s major field (i.e., MEC E courses)

- No reading courses can be credited towards the minimum course requirements.
ENGG 600 (★0.5)- Engineering Ethics and Integrity
Additional coursework may be required.

Capstone Project

MEC E 910 (★3) – Directed Research Project. Students are responsible for securing a capstone supervisor and should do so based on common research interests. Students are encouraged to enroll in MEC E 910 only in the academic term in which they plan to formally submit their capstone project.

Ethics Requirement

Engineering students meet their ethics requirement through ENGG 600 and the FGSR Graduate Ethics Training (GET) course.

Professional Development Requirement

Engineering students must meet their Professional Development requirement through the completion of two courses, registration for which is through eClass. Contact the Department for further information.

Academic Standing Requirement
