Chemical and Biological Engineering (MEng)

专业详情

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) is a coursework-based master’s degree offered to practicing engineers.  Candidates for the M.Eng. degree, if enrolled full time, will normally satisfy that requirement in one 10-month academic year.  Students admitted in candidacy for the M.Eng. degree will always have external support, typically from their employers or external fellowship; financial support is not offered. The M.Eng. degree may also be pursued part-time by staff from the many nearby industrial laboratories.  No research nor thesis is required.

COURSES:

Candidates for the M.Eng. degree must successfully complete at least eight courses, all taken for a letter grade. A minimum of six of these eight courses must be technical, having their primary listing in a department or a program within the natural sciences or engineering. A minimum of four of these courses must be chosen from graduate offerings (500-level) in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (primary or cross-listed); options include any of the four core courses for the Ph.D. degree (CBE 503; CBE 504; MAE 501/CBE 509; CBE 510), as well as graduate-level CBE electives (primary or cross-listed) chosen according to the student’s area of interest. Of the remaining four courses, a minimum of two must be at the graduate level (500-level). Up to two courses at the senior level (400-level) will be counted towards the degree requirement of eight total courses.  Students are encouraged, although not required, to focus their course choices to develop significant expertise in a particular area.  Students must have a “B” (3.00) average or better when they complete the program requirements to receive the degree.

Please note, CBE 507 cannot be counted towards the course requirement for M.Eng. candidates. It is designed for entering Ph.D. students and is graded P/D/F only.
