Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical Engineering

Dalhousie University

Graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at Dalhousie University are designed to help students develop and strengthen understanding of their selected specialty in Mechanical Engineering through state-of-the-art research work lectures tutorials and laboratory activities. Modern well-instrumented laboratories provide experience to ensure a thorough understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. The department consists of twenty-three full-time faculty members seventy postgraduate students and over three hundred undergraduate students. The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a courses-based degree that requires at least seven courses completion of the departmental gradate seminar requirements and a project. The MEng is a professionally-oriented terminal degree (which does not lead to a PhD).An MEng project need not involve the discovery or creation of new knowledge as is the case in a MASc or PhD. An MEng project must show the students ability to carry through to completion an engineering project of a credible level of difficulty that draws on the knowledge and experience gained through advanced undergraduate and graduate mechanical and material engineering course work. Therefore the MEng project (and by extension the MEng degree) has no to little research work.
