Program Overview for Meng in Mechanical Engineering in Canada:
Within the department of Mechanical Engineering at Dalhousie University, candidate can apply to a degree of Master of Engineering (MEng) in:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Materials Engineering
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 student’s 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.
Note: Financial support is not available for MEng students.
The eligibility for Meng in Mechanical Engineering in Canada for both domestic and international student is:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, or related field, from a recognized college or university
- Minimum entrance GPA of 3.0/4.3 (equivalent to a B at Dalhousie University)
- Two sealed official copies of transcripts from all previous degrees (graduate and undergraduate) from all institution attended. This includes exchange program and any courses taken outside of your home universities.
- Two letters of reference submitted either electronically or by mail.
- A full curriculum vitae (CV) highlighting personal academics, work and research history, publications, awards, scholarships and extra-curricular activities.
- A statement of interest, not exceeding two pages, explaining their areas and subject matter of interest, listing potential supervisors the applicant has already talked to and obtained positive feedback from.
In order to be considered for admission by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, an applicant must first be selected by a potential supervisor (faculty member) in the department. Each faculty member in the department is given the opportunity to review the files of applicants interested in this faculty member’s research or expertise area.
If the faculty member has research position openings and/or projects and/or funding available, they might opt to select an applicant to potentially work under her or his supervision (or co-supervision). Once selected, all the applicants must be confirmed by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Registrar’s office before acceptance is granted.
In view of this, it is strongly suggested that potential graduate applicants (MEng, MASc and PhD) contact one or more potential supervisors (faculty members), specifically those in areas of similar interest, both expertise and research, well before submitting an application to begin the conversation, and see if those potential supervisors have the projects, funding, availability and the interest in being a potential supervisor.
N.B: Most universities have specific international admission requirements based on different education systems.
These are the test eligibilities for the Meng in Mechanical Engineering to qualify.
The English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements for Meng in Mechanical Engineering in Canada: are:
N.B: ELP is not mandatory for all international students. You could apply without ELP if your previous degree's medium of instruction were in English. Students of Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, for example, are not required to take the ELP test.The scholarships available for the Meng in Mechanical Engineering are:
