Master of Engineering in Environmental Studies

1 pic Is This Program for You?

You have an undergraduate degree in science or engineering, and would like to obtain a course-based Master’s degree from a well-recognized university.

Perhaps you are unsure which specialty to choose, but would enjoy working in an engineering field that benefits the environment and has career potential.

Or maybe you're a professional engineer with plans to upgrade your environmental qualifications.

If you fit any of these descriptions, the M.Eng. in Environmental Studies at UNB Fredericton may be just the program you’re looking for









Practical, Flexible and Professional

The Faculty of Engineering at UNB Fredericton has expanded and revitalized its M.Eng. in Environmental Studies. The program offers many attractive features.





Who Can Apply?

The M.Eng in Environmental Studies program is designed for people with an engineering background. As well, individuals with closely-related education or professional qualifications may be considered.

The program is also ideal for prectising engineers wishing to obtain an M.Eng. Degree on a part-time basis.




How It Works

The M.Eng. in Environmental Studies program requires a total of 30 credit hours, which you earn through common courses and technical electives. Coursework can begin in September or January.

Common Courses (required)     12 credit hours
You choose 4 common courses from a total of 6 available courses. Common courses cover such topics as environmental engineering, industrial ecology, environmental policy and law, and eco-modeling.

Technical Electives    12 or 18 credit hours
Technical electives allow you to concentrate on environmental topics in chemical, civil, electrical, geodesy and geomatics, mechanical, and forest engineering.

M.Eng. Report    0 or 6 credit hours
The M.Eng. Report enables you to focus on a specific environmental project, and to work closely with an academic or practising professional engineer. It is optional in most, but not all, departments offering the M.Eng. in Environmental Studies.

Without the M.Eng. Report, you must take 18 credit hours of technical electives including at least 14 credit hours from engineering disciplines. With the M.Eng. Report (worth 6 credit hours), you require only 12 credit hours of technical electives.

Optional Cooperative Program
The optional co-operative program places you for one term with an environmental engineering firm. You gain valuable experience, make important business contacts - and receive financial benefit.


Career Paths

The demand for environmental engineers has risen significantly over the last decade. An M.Eng. in Environmental Studies will open doors to enriching jobs with the public and private sector, in Canada and abroad.

UNB engineers have found environmental-related work in many venues: the private consulting sector, renewable energy laboratories, government regulatory groups, environmental assessment agencies, chemical plants and natural resource companies, to name just a few.



Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering at UNB Fredericton is housed in three adjoining buildings. Researchers in its well-equipped and diversified laboratories study everything from energy conversion to pulp and paper technology.

At the Engineering Library, you can access traditional print media plus a growing collection of electronically-available technical publications from around the world.






UNB - Your Home Away from Home

UNB Fredericton is located in the heart of New Brunswick’s capital city on a beautifully-treed hillside overlooking the Saint John River.

The university hosts more than 100 clubs and societies, with 1150 undergraduates and 7 students societies in the Faculty of Engineering alone. The campus is large enough to provide academic excellence ... yet small enough for you to be a name, not a number. You will feel at home here.
