Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering

About this programme

The Master of Engineering is not administered by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Please check the UBC Engineering website for admission requirements, deadlines and application procedure. ECE’s Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program is designed for students who want to pursue their electrical and computer engineering education beyond the undergraduate level but are looking for an alternative to a thesis-based research program. The Master of Engineering program requires students to complete coursework with the option of completing a supervised project. Students are free to choose among a number of graduate and senior undergraduate courses to complete the program. Find out more on the ECE MEng program website. Applicants who are considering taking a Ph.D. in the future should apply for admission to the M.A.Sc. program rather than the M.Eng. program. For specific program requirements, please refer to the departmental program website Students are free to choose any selection of courses they wish within the program guidelines. After completing one term, an M.Eng. candidate can choose to conduct an engineering project and write a report in the candidate's area of specialization, in lieu of 6 credits of conventional coursework. Students will receive guidance from their project supervisor in developing their research topic, and students can also design their own projects in this course. Students are encouraged to approach individual faculty members if they have project ideas.
