We encourage you to reach out to the students and alumni listed in the MEng Ambassador Directory and ask them about their experience in the program. Access the directory with the password sent via email.
Are you a prospective, deferred, or current student interested in speaking with one of our current MEng student leaders? Book an appointment with one of our recruitment student assistants.
Capstone projects are a hub for integrative, experiential, and team-driven learning. During the course of two semesters, MEng students work with an advisor to develop a technical solution that meets an industry, market, or social need.
You can view the preliminary list of 2021-22 Capstone projects. If you want to learn more about projects that have been offered in the past you can check out our featured project profiles, and the Class of 2020 Capstone Showcase program.
Admitted students can propose their own capstone project. Review the Student Capstone Proposal Submission Form for additional details (and note that the deadline to propose is May 15). Getting a capstone project approved is challenging. Please reach out to Alex Beliaev to discuss your ideas before submitting the form (ideally by June 15).
Fung Institute Student Spaces
Shires Hall and pending additional space at Mudd Hall
In a typical in-person year, in addition to campus libraries and department labs, MEng students have dedicated study and work space, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You would share the floors with several Fung Institute staff offices located on both levels. Due to public health and safety guidelines, the dedicated space for MEng students is currently unavailable in Spring 2021.

“The Master of Engineering program provided me a combination of technical knowledge specific to my field, business acumen, and hands-on experience. I had the opportunity to work on a real-world problem while also picking up skills and knowledge that I can apply every day at my job.” – Alec L’Amoreaux, MEng ‘18 (CEE)
