Master of Engineering in Sustainable Energy Engineering

Overview

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE), offered through the Faculty of Applied Sciences, is a course-based, interdisciplinary program. The primary emphasis of the program is to couple fundamental engineering knowledge with critical policy, business, and environmental considerations relating to the sustainable provision, conversion, and use of energy. 

Through formal coursework and an integrated team-based project, SEE MEng graduates will be equipped to:

  • Assess, interpret and communicate the complex trade-offs involved in the development, deployment, and use of clean energy technologies
  • Address current energy needs without compromising the needs of future generations

Candidates will develop a strong interdisciplinary understanding of sustainable energy engineering and the intersecting and conflicting demands of policy, business and environmental sustainability. Graduates will have demonstrated mastery of:

  • Applying engineering tools to sustainable energy problems
  • Analyzing energy engineering applications from diverse viewpoints
  • Designing creative and inclusive solutions to energy engineering problems
  • Communicating risks, benefits and trade-offs of alternative solutions to stakeholders
