The Master of Engineering (MEng) program in ECE caters to students seeking advanced electrical and computer engineering education without committing to a thesis-focused research path. This program is ideal for those with industry experience following their prior academic studies.
Completion of the MEng program generally requires 12-16 months, though students have a flexible timeline of up to 5 years. The curriculum mandates 30 course credits, with an optional supervised project (EECE 597). Participants can select from various graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses to fulfill degree requirements.
Applicants to the M.Eng. program must have an accredited (by UBC) four year Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a closely related field.
English Language Proficiency Requirement
Applicants from a university outside Canada at which English is not the primary language of instruction must present evidence of competency to pursue studies in the English language prior to being extended an offer of admission. Acceptable English language proficiency tests for applicants to graduate studies are: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): 90 overall with a minimum score of 22 in Reading & Listening and a minimum score of 21 in Writing & Speaking (Internet version); minimum score of 22 in Reading & Listening and a minimum score of 21 in Writing (paper version); or IELTS (International English Language Testing Service): minimum overall band score of 6.5, with no individual score less than 6.0; or MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery): minimum overall score of 85, with a final score of 3 in the speaking test.
