Engineering Practice

This is a coursework-based Master of Engineering program.

The main difference between Engineering Practice and other Master of Engineering programs at Carleton is the emphasis on non-technical courses.

Our program is approximately 50% technical engineering courses and 50% non-technical, non-engineering courses such as Project Management.

You can find a more detailed description of the program requirements here.

Please note that there is no funding for this program.

Offers of admission may be conditional upon certain things:

• Official transcripts from your university, which they must email directly to graduate.studies@carleton.ca. A WES evaluation would also satisfy this condition but is not required.
• An academic reference letter, sent from an institutional email address. If your referee does not have an institutional email and only has a public email address such as a Gmail/yahoo/163/Rediff email address, then we must be able to confirm that their address is authentic. This can be done if their email address appears on your university’s website, or you can ask your university to email us to authenticate your referee’s email address
• English language test scores, if you did not include them in your original application or if the ones you provided do not meet Carleton’s English language requirements

Here is an example condition in your offer of admission:

Once the conditions in your offer have been met, you will receive a revised offer of admission which will be unconditional. If you receive a conditional offer, you must address them before registering for courses. If you are not able to address the conditions in your offer letter, please email us (EP_GradAdmin@carleton.ca).

You can defer your admission for one term at a time, for up to one year from the term of the original offer of admission.

For example, if you receive an offer of admission for the fall 2023, you can request a deferral to the winter 2024 term.

Later, you can request a second deferral to the fall 2024. After that, you will not be able to request another deferral.

If you have received an offer of admission for a different Master of Engineering program but are interested in Engineering Practice instead,
please send us an email (EP_GradAdmin@carleton.ca).

If you applied to a different Master of Engineering program. program but did not get an offer, you might have received an email letting you know that you are instead being considered for Engineering Practice. If you have any questions about your original application, please email GradAdminEng@carleton.ca. If you receive an offer for Engineering Practice, we will choose a stream for you based on your background.

If you want to change streams, please email us (EP_GradAdmin@carleton.ca).

If you receive a conditional offer, you must address each condition before registering for courses. Registration for the fall and winter begins in July. You can find important registration and deadline information here: Important registration and deadline information here
