Online Master of Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree is practice oriented. Although most of the courses on the degree plan are expected to be in engineering or scientific disciplines, other courses may be selected from different fields that reflect the individual interests and career goals of the student.

Descriptions and requirements for the On Campus Master of Engineering degree can be found in the Texas A&M Graduate Catalog. The only difference between the On Campus MEng and the Online MEng degree is that all requirements - all exams, projects, and other class assignments - are given through the online learning e-campus system. You have the option to attend classes on campus or take your oral examination on campus, should you choose to do so.
