PROGRAM 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.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

This program of a set of mandatory courses (19 units), elective courses (minimum 8 units), and a team-based integrated project (6 units, taken over two consecutive terms). Students who lack the necessary background knowledge may, at the discretion of the program chair, be asked to complete additional courses to ensure an adequate breadth of knowledge to successfully complete the full program requirements. 

 Please note: 

• SEE courses are offered at the SFU Surrey campus:
• BUS 790/791 are 1/2 term courses offered sequentially within the fall semester at the SFU Vancouver (downtown) campus
• REM 658 is offered on SFU Burnaby campus
• SEE Graduate technical elective can be taken in any term depending on student interest
• SEE 798 is a two-term intensive applied project course that is expected to take most of the student's time in those two terms.
