Hire Top Talent: U of T Engineering Master of Engineering (MEng) Co-op Program
The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is launching a new Master of Engineering (MEng) Co-op Program designed to connect employers with highly motivated graduate students seeking professional experience.
Within U of T Engineering’s suite of graduate degrees, the Master of Engineering (MEng) is a course-based, professionally oriented graduate program. The majority of MEng students are considered early-career, often choosing the program to accelerate or shift their career paths after having worked in industry.
Flexibility is a hallmark of the MEng degree — in addition to taking a breadth of courses in their chosen discipline, students can pursue an area of focus from a range of industry-relevant emphases, including Data Analytics & Machine Learning, Advanced Manufacturing, Sustainable Energy and Forensic Engineering.
