Program Overview
The Master of Engineering in Building Science degree is designed to provide students from various engineering disciplines with advanced knowledge and skills to achieve a holistic understanding of building performance through a core course component, which is composed of a fundamental technical cluster, and an applied technical cluster. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of a specialty area through focused elective technical courses or a supervised research project.
The Master of Engineering degree:
- Offers an interdisciplinary curriculum
- Specializes in building science
- Emphasizes an engineering approach for practical problem solving
- Focuses on applied research to provide solutions to industry problems
- Engages students in interdisciplinary research

Program pathways
MEng students are required to select one of two pathways for the completion of the program:
Path 1: course option: Students take 10 courses: 4 core courses and 6 elective courses. For this path the Research Methods course is optional. Except for the core fundamental courses, all other courses include a research component.
Path 2: industry/research project option: Students take 7 courses plus Research Methods, and a comprehensive industry/research project. Students engage in applied research on a relevant industry problem under the supervision of a faculty member.
- Acceptance into Path 2 is dependent on:
