The MEng degree is for students who wish to study one or more fields of geomatics engineering at an advanced level, with exposure to new geospatial technologies and a variety of application domains (Remote Sensing and Computer Vision, Spatial Data Sciences, Geodesy and Positioning, Hydrospatial Engineering). The course-based MEng consists of 30 credit hours of coursework, selected in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies.
The degree is designed to be completed in 3 or 4 academic terms, depending on the student’s background. Co-op work terms are also encouraged.
Entry term: September. Apply by Feb. 1.
Recommended to apply by Dec. 15, 2024 for Fall 2025 MEng start
Normal duration: 16-24 months
Coursework required: 30 credit hours of coursework, at least 15 of which must be 6000 level courses
Other requirements: Optional Co-op placement
Residency: First term
Time limit: 24 months (full-time) • Undefined (part-time)
Minimum GPA to be maintained: 3.0/B average
A cumulative GPA less than the minimum requirement, or grades with a D or F, are considered unsatisfactory, and the student will normally be required to withdraw from the program or be placed on academic probation.
See the checklist of MEng degree requirements.
The Engineering Co-op Program allows you to develop as a professional and build critical transferrable skills, giving you a competitive edge when entering the job market. Participating in the co-op program allows you to apply the theory and knowledge you are learning in class to a professional work environment. Students should consult with their department and the co-op office to see what length of co-op they qualify for under the current regulations, however all relevant work experience is beneficial and will help you find employment after graduation.
To be eligible for the co-op program, students must:
GGE Master of Engineering students may seek up to 12 months of paid co-op work terms. Application for the first work term is normally made no earlier than the second term of study, in order to assess the student’s standing in the graduate program.
The final work term cannot be the final term of the student’s program. The schedule of work terms is subject to approval by the Director of Graduate Studies. To ensure that students return to academic studies in September or January, when the majority of our graduate courses are offered, it is recommended that:
Note: There is no guarantee that all applicants will be successful in securing a co-op position as the job application process can be very competitive. The co-op program provides a number of services to assist students, including professional development, resume and cover letter review, interview preparation, job search guidance, and employer information sessions.
See the Engineering Co-op Program for more information, important dates and associated fees.
Education: Applicants should hold an undergraduate degree in Geodesy, Geomatics, or a related field (such as Geology, Geography, Physics, Math, Engineering, Science, Computer Science) from an accredited university.
Minimum GPA: 3.0/4.3, or B Average (the equivalent of 70%)
Language proficiency: International applicants whose first language is not English must submit language scores that meet or exceed International English Language Testing System (ILETS) band 7 and/or a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 92.
Supervisor: None required. The Director of Graduate Studies will advise on course selections.
