The program is an MEng in Engineering Practice offered through the Faculty of Engineering and Design. The principal goal is to elevate BEng graduates from recognized engineering institutions around the world in order to accelerate their employability and integration into Canada’s workforce.
As one of the first and only programs of its kind within Canada, Engineering Practice is unique in its emphasis on employment-oriented skills within an engineering framework, blending courses in project management, entrepreneurship, engineering economics, engineering communications, etc., with advanced applied topics related to your engineering background.
The program focuses on enhancing the technical expertise of students, with a particular focus on internationally-trained engineers who have received their undergraduate degree from a university outside the Canadian Accreditation System. Unlike most university-based graduate degrees in engineering, whether research focused or professional master’s, this program specifically wishes to address the enhancement of engineering discipline knowledge while providing courses and elements to assist the transition to the workplace including professional development, project management and communication skills.

Capital Advantage
Home to many governmental and non-governmental institutions, Ottawa provides exceptional institutional resources that our students can draw on for their research and career opportunities. Our graduate students may pursue a placement in one such organization, linking this practical work with their area of interest for their thesis research. The nation’s capital also houses a variety of library, archival and museum collections that provide unique opportunities for those interested in the anthropological study of material culture, art, ethnohistory and historical texts.
