Master of Engineering Requirements

The MEng in Chemical Engineering is a nominal one year practically oriented
program intended primarily for students who plan to make their careers in industry.
This degree is attractive to those in industry or government who are interested in
studying part-time and is open to B.Sc. and B.Sc.E. degree holders.
The degree may be completed in two formats:
Course Based - Where the requirement is successful completion of an approved 30
credit-hour program. A minimum of 15 credit hours of coursework must be taken
from the ChE Graduate Level Course list.
Project Based - Where the requirements is successful completion of 24 credit hours
of which a minimum of 15 credit hours must be taken from the ChE Graduate Level
Course list; and, completion of an industrial project, written report and oral
presentation. The project must be supervised by a UNB faculty member and is
generally completed over the summer period in collaboration with local industry and
possibly on a co-operative work-study basis.
At the discretion of the GAU certain senior level undergraduate courses may be
included in the MEng program but, in general, no more than 8 credit hours will be
allowed for undergraduate courses. Such undergraduate courses however count only
half their credit hour value towards the MEng program. Students interested in
transferring undergraduate courses to count towards their MEng requirement must
request so in writing to the Director of Graduate Studies. The MEng degree is not
terminal and students who successfully complete the MEng are eligible for admission
to the PhD program, on a competitive basis.
