If, on medical or compassionate or other legitimate grounds, you are unable to meet your academic responsibilities, i.e., unable to write term tests, quizzes, project reports or final examinations or complete other required components of the course (e.g. project(s), presentation(s), case studies, or any other activity assigned as required by the course instructor), then you can request for accommodation.

To request accommodation, complete the Request for Academic Consideration Form and submit it along with the supporting documents via Kuali, to the Associate Dean (Graduate) Office. The accommodation request must be submitted either in advance or no later than one week after the date of course activity for which the accommodation is sought.

You should understand that academic accommodation will not be granted automatically on request. You must demonstrate that there are compelling medical or compassionate or other legitimate grounds that can be documented before academic accommodation will be considered.

The Associate Dean’s Office will review the accommodation request and convey the decision to the student and copy, Course Instructor and the Graduate Office of student’s home department. Note that the confidential information related to the accommodation is not shared with the Instructor and the Departmental Graduate Office.

If the accommodation request is approved, the Course Instructor has to convey the accommodation arrangement to the student and provide a copy to the Departmental Graduate Office.

Western Engineering's Career Services

The Western Engineering Career Services team supports the Faculty of Engineering in its goal of providing the best student experience through experiential learning opportunities. Students have the opportunity to participate in Co-op which ensures a seamless transition from student life to employment and their career. Western Engineering offers both an undergraduate and graduate co-op program to its students. Co-op provides students with the opportunity to apply classroom learning in the workplace through hands-on experience, while building a professional network and earning a salary. In addition, research shows that participating in a co-op work term has a positive impact on students' grades when they return to their studies.

Western Engineering's Career Services engage students in self-discovery and assist them with career planning, career exploration, and career development to help meet their career goals. Our team offers one-to-one virtual or in-person career appointments where students can get support on resume building, and interview skills, as well as a wide variety of career-focused workshops throughout the academic year.

The MEng proposed program form is a mandatory requirement of all MEng students, to be completed by the first month of the first term of study. This form is a plan of all the courses a student intends to take during their MEng degree. If you choose to deviate from your plan, please resubmit the Proposed Program Form. For the list of approved courses for each stream of study please see the links at the top of this page.

MEng Proposed Program Form

Once enrolled in the MEng program it is possible to change your program to the MESc program. In order to do this you must secure a supervsior who is ready and willing to admit you to the MESc program and meet the minimum requirements of admission for the MESc program. Please note that the change must be completed before the end of your second term. Please also note that the number of terms spent enrolled in the MEng program will be counted towards the 6 terms of fundability in the MESc program. For more information about the process, please contact the ECE Graduate Research Coordinator and see the information on the Faculty of Engineering's webpage. 

Students enrolled in the MEng program MUST register in every term from initial registration until all degree requirements are complete.  If unable to register, the student may apply for a Leave of Absence.  

Please note: approval of a Leave of Absence request is not guaranteed and subject to the approval of the ECE Graduate Chair and the School of graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.  Documentation supporting the request is required and must be submitted to the ECE Graduate Office. Please allow 4-6 weeks for your request to be processed.  

All Graduate Students in ECE must maintain a cumulative average of at least 70% calculated each term over all courses taken for credit, with no grade less than 60%. In the case of failing grades given for scholastic offences, only the Vice-Provost (Graduate and Post Doctoral Studies) can withdraw a student.

The University holds regular Convocation ceremonies in the Spring (June) and in the Fall (October) of each year and an In Absentia convocation in February. Degree completion, for purposes of Convocation, requires the following:

• Program's submission to the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies of grades for all course requirements.

• Acceptance by the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies of the final submission of the thesis (if applicable).

• Program's notification to the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies indicating degree completion.

If you are in the final term of your program, you are required to apply to graduate via the Student Center. Students' application for graduation may only occur during the term in which they intend to complete the requirements of their degree. Applications must be submitted prior to the end of that term to ensure eligibility.
To apply, access the Student Center. Select "Apply for Graduation" within the My Academics section and follow the instructions to complete the process.

Students may start a project after successfully completing their first term in the MEng program. To secure a project, the student must secure a regular ECE faculty member as their project supervisor and receive approval on their MEng Project Proposal. The MEng Project Proposal can be submitted for review through this link here. Please note that the approval of the MEng Project Proposal is not guaranteed, and if not approved, the student will not be able to complete a project. If approval is received, students may then submit a Change of Status form to request to be moved from course-based to project-based. A Change of Status form can be submitted through this link here. 

The project may be completed in one term (4 months) or two terms (8 months) but may not exceed two terms. A final report will be required to be submitted to the supervisor for assessment near the end of the project term. The rubric that will be used for the assessment is available for review here. Once complete, the project will be credited through a milestone, and will be worth two technical courses (2 technical electives for students starting Fall 2023 and after, and any 2 technical courses for students who started the program prior to Fall 2023). 

Please note that students are considered as course-based until the project proposal is approved.
