The Systems Engineering M.Eng. program has two cohorts of students: traditional on-campus students and Distance Learning (DL) students. On-campus students are full-time and typically complete their program in two semesters, with a wide array of courses to choose from. The program allows for on-campus students to combine the core courses with chosen electives that will emphasize their interests, educational and career goals.
Distance Learning students are professionals currently working in industry and are enrolled in the M.Eng. program part-time. The typical time frame for these students to complete the requirements is two to three years. Course content is the same as for on-campus students, with the addition of two one-week on-campus modules. This format of the M.Eng. degree can be earned online, making it perfect for the busy professional who wants to earn their degree on a part-time basis. Content delivery is achieved through synchronous and asynchronous technologies. Distance Learning students interact with on-campus students in many of their classes and coursework, which can facilitate the learning process for both groups of students.
Program Requirements: minimum of 30 credits
