Customize your MEng degree by selecting a Specialization
As part of the Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), students have the opportunity to specialize in specific areas of interest and earn a Specialization in addition to their MEng degree. Courses completed for a MEng Specialization will also count towards your degree requirements. Please note that Specializations are subject to course availability and are not guaranteed. You can find a detailed list of the Specializations and their requirements on the Academic Calendar.
Specializations are not declared at the start of the MEng program, but rather at its conclusion. Upon successful completion of the MEng degree and following the prescribed course plan (outlined on the Academic Calendar), students will be awarded a Specialization in one of the following areas:
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Biomedical Engineering
- Business Leadership
- Computer Networking and Security
- Nanoelectronic Circuits and Systems
- Nanoelectronic Devices and Materials
- Software
- Sustainable Energy
Note:
- MEng students in ECE may take a maximum of 10 courses (0.5 units each) during their degree program, including failed courses and any additional courses taken, such as audit or extra to degree. However, once the required 8 courses for the degree have been completed, students are not eligible to take any additional courses (audit or extra) and must complete the degree.
- The degree of Master of Engineering is awarded based on the successful completion of 8 graduate level courses, with the exception of the Business Leadership Specialization.
- For the Business Leadership Specialization, a maximum of 4 courses from outside ECE may be applied to fulfill both the MEng in ECE and the Graduate Specialization in Business Leadership requirements. As a result, the total number of courses required will increase from 8 to 9, with students required to complete 4 Business Leadership courses and 5 ECE courses. Furthermore, if you take ECE 657A as part of the Business Leadership Specialization, it will not count towards the AI&ML specialization. You must apply it to either one or the other.
- Specialization Certificates will be issued electronically upon the successful completion of the MEng degree, provided all Specialization requirements are met.
