University of Alberta offer of admission
Hi guys
I've been admission in U of A for M.Eng (1 year course only) in Electrical Engineering. Now, they're asking me to make a course plan b4 the classes. Also, what are the pros and cons of M.Sc(2 years with thesis) vs. M.Eng(1 year coursework)? Also, should I accept the offer? |

Similarly, the MEng program at Cornell is treated by employers just like a MS degree.

hey i have also got a offer letter from university of alberta at 16th june,2009 for master of engineering at the electrical and computer engineering department.
the biggest benefit of master of engineering is that it is almost certain that you will pass the course and u will have a broad range of opportunities for getting a job as u are doing more theoretical courses. its just remain in the safe side. on the other hand (insert demonstrative pronoun here) advantages are..... u will not get any financial benefit, u will not be able to do phd... with this degree... as u will have to complete the requirement of research (thesis) and some other courses if u like 2 do phd after this course..... on he other hand the biggest benefit of m.sc.(thesis) is that as a research assistant u will get financial benefit....u will be able to do phd directly after the course... but disadvantages are u r narrowing your field by this course...if u failed to complete your research u will be failed n will not get the degree. lastly it usually takes 1 year or 1year 4 month o complete both the courses... not necessarily 2 year.... but u can take up 2 the 2 year time... its really nice 2 see u all here ... hope 2 meet u all ahey i have also got a offer letter from university of alberta at 16th june,2009 for master of engineering at the electrical and computer engineering department. the biggest benefit of master of engineering is that it is almost certain that you will pass the course and u will have a broad range of opportunities for getting a job as u are doing more theoretical courses. its just remain in the safe side. on the other hand (insert demonstrative pronoun here) advantages are..... u will not get any financial benefit, u will not be able to do phd... with this degree... as u will have to complete the requirement of research (thesis) and some other courses if u like 2 do phd after this course..... on he other hand the biggest benefit of m.sc.(thesis) is that as a research assistant u will get financial benefit....u will be able to do phd directly after the course... but disadvantages are u r narrowing your field by this course...if u failed to complete your research u will be failed n will not get the degree. lastly it usually takes 1 year or 1year 4 month o complete both the courses... not necessarily 2 year.... but u can take up 2 the 2 year time... its really nice 2 see u all here ... hope 2 meet u all at u of a. my email id is scorpionking_108@yahoo .com. u can add me at facebook or send me a test mail so that we can have trace of each other..... bye and tc.

Congratulations guys! Hey Calmlogic, I'm also considering choosing between Thesis and Non-thesis options for my MEng in the US. I might just go for the Thesis option because of the increased chances of Financial Assistance it presents. My fear, however, is that the programme may last longer than the other. Is this necessarily so?
