Note: Not all courses listed are offered in a given year. For an up-to-date statement of course offerings for the current session and to determine the term of offering, consult the class schedule at central.carleton.ca.
Summer session: some of the courses listed in this Calendar are offered during the summer. Hours and scheduling for summer session courses will differ significantly from those reported in the fall/winter Calendar. To determine the scheduling and hours for summer session classes, consult the class schedule at central.carleton.ca
Admission
The requirement for admission to the M. Engineering - Engineering Practice is a four-year bachelor's degree in civil, computer, electrical, environmental, mechanical engineering, or software (students with other engineering degree disciplines should contact the Faculty for special consideration) from an institution recognized by Engineers Canada under the Washington Accord, with an average of at least B+. Applicants should note that simply meeting the minimum standards for admission will not guarantee admission to the program as there are only a limited number of positions available each year.
Transfer and Transfer Credit
Graduate students currently registered in other graduate programs in Engineering at Carleton University, and who hold a four-year bachelor's degree in engineering from an institution recognized by Engineers Canada under the Washington Accord can transfer into this program. Transfer credit will be awarded for courses where a grade of B or higher was earned in other graduate programs in Engineering at Carleton University towards the fulfilment of discipline specific Engineering course requirements.
Regulations
See the General Regulations section of this Calendar.
Regularly Scheduled Break
For immigration purposes, the summer term (May to August) for the Master of Engineering - Engineering Practice is considered a regularly scheduled break approved by the University. Students should resume full-time studies in September.
Note: a Regularly Scheduled Break as described for immigration purposes does not supersede the requirement for continuous registration in Thesis, Research Essay, or Independent Research Project as described in Section 8.2 of the Graduate General Regulations.
