MEng Program Requirements and Courses By Area

The MEng Degree requires at least 25 total units of credit that must be taken for a letter grade and a comprehensive exam. Those credits are allocated across three essential areas:

  • A subset of EECS department graduate-level coursework pre-vetted for appropriateness for MEng students
  • Two (2) of the courses must be chosen from your concentration’s “core” set of classes (left column).
  • At least three (3) out of your four technical courses should be chosen from among the core list + the expanded list (right column) of classes that align with your admitted concentration.
  • The remaining technical course (1) should be chosen from among your own or another MEng concentration’s course lists within the EECS department.

  • 2 units of boot camp short courses in mid-August
  • ENGIN 270A Organizational Behavior & Negotiations
  • ENGIN 270B R&D Tech Management and Ethics
  • 2 units of boot camp short courses in early January
  • Choose 2 x 1-unit electives from ENGIN 270 series.
