COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Energy Systems Engineering (co-op) is a 30.0 credit hour graduate program designed to integrate academic learning with real-world professional experience through structured co-operative education work terms. Offered by the University of Regina, this program prepares students for industry-focused careers in sustainable and advanced energy systems by combining technical coursework, applied engineering knowledge, and workplace training. The academic portion includes graduate-level ENER 8xx courses that cover advanced topics in energy systems such as renewable energy technologies, energy conversion, storage systems, and optimization techniques. Students also take electives from ENxx or related engineering disciplines, including ENER 3xx to 4xx level courses, allowing specialization in areas like energy infrastructure, computational modeling, or petroleum-related systems. Professional development is strengthened through courses such as ENGG 601 and ENGG 602, which focus on engineering practice, ethics, and foundational industry skills. ENGG 701, ENGG 702, and ENGG 703 further enhance students’ project management and applied engineering abilities. A key academic requirement is ENER 902, where students complete a major project demonstrating applied problem-solving in energy systems. The co-op component provides structured paid work experience in industry, helping students build professional skills, gain practical exposure, and improve employability in the energy sector. Overall, the program prepares graduates for technical and leadership roles in energy engineering industries.
