Message from the Associate Chair (Professional Programs)

Dr. Hassan El-Chabib, Associate Chair (MEng Program), Graduate

Welcome to the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Western University. Western University’s Civil & Environmental Engineering program, ranked #1 in Canada and #26 worldwide by the Academic Ranking of World Universities, is renowned for its excellence, nationally and internationally, due to its outstanding academic curricula, award-winning professors and state-of-the-art facilities. 

The M.Eng. is a course-based degree that is directed to both practicing engineers who are looking for advancement of their professional careers and new graduates who want a deeper technical foundation. The M.Eng. provides an excellent opportunity for international students and newcomers to Canada seeking employment opportunities in engineering to achieve their goals.

The M.Eng. program is structured to be completed in three full-time terms (one year) of study. This can be either a course-based work (10 courses) or a combination of course work and a project (8 courses & M.Eng. Project). Also, it can be completed on a part-time basis in two years. Students who request part-time status must meet the criteria set forth by the School of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies (SGPS).

The courses that are offered to our M.Eng. students are taught on the campus of Western University and most of the instructors are Faculty members of our Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Few courses are taught by Limited-Duties instructors who have excellent teaching and industrial experience. 

If you have any questions about our M.Eng. program, I encourage you to contact me or the graduate office of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

I look forward to providing you the very best support you need during your admission process and during your time as an M.Eng. student at Western.
