The Master of Engineering (MEng) program in Sustainability and Resiliency Engineering has a clear vision of becoming the leading force in accelerating and scaling climate solutions. Our commitment goes beyond traditional academic boundaries by broadening the scope of our technological advancements through multidisciplinary collaborations and leveraging our leadership across engineering disciplines and entrepreneurship. We aim to make innovation equitable to deepen its real-world impact. For example, students can work on Sustainable Energy for expediting the shift to clean energy sources and enhancing the efficiency of energy use, Sustainable Resources for developing a circular economy, and Resilient Adaptive Strategies for adapting to a changing climate, from extreme heat and severe droughts to wildfires, flooding, and earthquakes.
A minimum background would consist of:
- 1.5 years of college-level calculus (e.g., Math 1A, 1B, 53, 54 or equivalent)
- 1 year of college-level physics (e.g., Physics 7A or equivalent)
- 1 semester of probability and statistics (e.g., CIV ENG 93 or equivalent)
- 1 computer programming course(s) (e.g., ENGIN 7 or equivalent)
To earn the MEng degree, students must complete 12 units of 200-series technical courses and 13 units of engineering leadership courses (which are provided by the Fung Institute) for a total of 25 units. Additionally, students are required to engage in a two-semester long team-based capstone project.
Students may also choose a sub-concentration if desired.
- Construction Systems
- Energy, Civil Infrastructure and Climate
- GeoSystems Engineering
- Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials
- Systems Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
Leadership courses (see Fung Institute for more details)
- 6 units of core leadership classes: ENGIN 270 series (1 unit business & management courses)
- 5 units of integrative capstone projects that complement E 296 MA/MB and 1 unit per semester (total 2 units) of capstone integration E 295
