Program overview
The Natural Resources Engineering graduate pathway (within Engineering Science) leverages Sudbury’s standing as a global hub for mining technology, mineral processing, and environmental rehabilitation. Students specialize in environmental impact assessment, resource management, mine remediation, and sustainable engineering processes across mining, mechanical, chemical, and mechatronic systems.
The program offers three flexible completion pathways:
-
M.Eng. (Course-based): A 10-course option that can be fast-tracked in as little as 12 months for career advancement.
-
M.Eng. (Project-based): Combines core coursework with a supervised industrial design or research project.
-
M.A.Sc. (Research-based / Thesis): A 2-year thesis-based program focusing on original academic research, preparing students for R&D roles or Ph.D. studies.
