  • Academic Continuation Evaluation In addition to the requirements presented here, students must satisfy the University regulations common to all undergraduate students including the process of Academic Continuation Evaluation (see Section 3.2 Academic Progression , in the Academic Regulations of the University ), with the following additions and amendments: In Engineering programs, all credits are included in the Major CGPA, making it identical to the Overall CGPA. Students who are not assigned the status Eligible to Continue (EC) or Academic Warning (AW) will be required to leave the degree with either the status Continue in Alternate (CA) or Dismissed from Program (DP). Graduation Students in Engineering programs are covered by the common University regulations regarding graduation, with the following additions and amendments. Students entering an Engineering program with Advanced Standing will receive transfer credit for at most ten of the credits required for their program. To be eligible for graduation, the most recent grade in every course used to meet the requirements of the Bachelor of Engineering degree must be a passing grade. Course Load Regulations regarding Course Load and Overload can be found in the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar. The normal course load in Engineering is defined as the number of credits required in the student's program for the current year status of the students. Since the programs in Engineering require more than 20.0 credits in total, the normal course load is more than 5.0 credits in some years of the program. Registration in more than this number of credits constitutes an overload. Co-operative Education Programs All Engineering programs are available with or without participation in the Co-operative Education option. Time Limit The Bachelor of Engineering degree must be completed within eight calendar years of initial registration. Students who do not complete their program requirements within this limit will be given the status Continue in Alternate (CA). Academic Appeals The Engineering Committee on Admission and Studies handles all academic appeals. Co-operative Education For more information about how to apply for the Co-op program and how the Co-op program works please visit the Co-op website . All students participating in the Co-op program are governed by the Undergraduate Co-operative Education Policy. Undergraduate Co-operative Education Policy Admission Requirements Students can apply to Co-op in one of two ways: directly from high school, or after beginning a degree program at Carleton. If a student applies to a degree program with a Co-op option from high school, their university grades will be reviewed two terms to one year prior to their first work term to ensure they meet the academic requirements after their first or second year of study. The time at which the evaluation takes place depends on the program of study. Students will automatically receive an admission decision via their Carleton email account. Students who did not request Co-op at the time they applied to Carleton can request Co-op after they begin their university studies. To view application instructions and deadlines, please visit carleton.ca/co-op . To be admitted to Co-op, a student must successfully complete 5.0 or more credits that count towards their degree, meet the minimum CGPA requirement(s) for the student's Co-op option, and fulfil any specified course prerequisites. To see the unique admission and continuation requirements for each Co-op option, please refer to the specific degree programs listed in the Undergraduate Calendar. Participation Requirements Co-op Participation Agreement All students must adhere to the policies found within the Co-op Participation Agreement. COOP 1000 Once a student has been admitted to the Co-op Program, they will be given access to register in COOP 1000. This zero-credit online course must be completed at least two terms prior to the student's first work term. Communication with the Co-op Office Students must maintain contact with the Co-op Office during their job search and while on a work term. All email communication will be conducted via the students' Carleton email account. Employment Although every effort is made to ensure a sufficient number of job postings for all Co-op students, no guarantee of employment can be made. The Co-op job search process is competitive, and success is dependent upon factors such as current market conditions, academic performance, skills, motivation, and level of commitment to the job search. It is the student's responsibility to apply for positions via the Co-op job board in addition to actively conducting a self-directed job search. Students who do not obtain a co-op work term are expected to continue with their academic studies. It should be noted that hiring priority for positions within the Federal Government of Canada is given to Canadian citizens. Registration Students must be registered as full-time during all fall and winter study terms beginning the term in which they enroll in COOP 1000. Students will be registered in a Co-op Work Term course while at work. This course does not carry academic course credit, but is noted on academic transcripts. Students may register in a 0.5 credit during a work term, provided the course is offered during the evening or is offered asynchronously online. Students must have at least one term of full-time studies left to complete following their final co-op work term. Students cannot end their degree on a work term. Work Term Assessment and Evaluation Work Term Evaluation Employers are responsible for submitting to Carleton University final performance evaluations for their Co-op students at the end of their work terms. Work Term Assessment In order to successfully complete the co-op work term, students must receive a Satisfactory (SAT) grade on their Co-op Work Term Report, which they must submit at the completion of each four-month work term. Graduation with the Co-op Designation In order to graduate with the Co-op Designation, students must satisfy all requirements of the degree program in addition to the successful completion of three or four work terms (the number is dependent upon the student's academic program). Students found in violation of the Co-op Participation Agreement may have the Co-op Designation withheld. Note: Participation in the co-op option will add up to one additional year for a student to complete their degree program. Voluntary Withdrawal from the Co-op Option Students who are currently on a co-op work term or who have already committed to a co-op work term either verbally or in writing may not leave the position and/or withdraw from the co-op option until they have completed the work term and all related requirements. Involuntary or Required Withdrawal from the Co-op Option Students may be removed from the Co-op Program for any of the following reasons: Failure to achieve a grade of SAT in COOP 1000; Failure to attend all interviews for positions to which the student has applied; Declining more than one job offer during the job search; Reneging on a co-op position that the student has accepted either verbally or in writing; Continuing a job search after accepting a co-op position; Dismissal from a work term by the co-op employer; Leaving a work term without approval from the Co-op Management Team; Receipt of an unsatisfactory work term evaluation; Receiving a grade of UNS on the work term report. International Students All international students are required to be legally eligible to work in Canada. Students are advised to discuss requirements with the Global Opportunities & International Student Services Office. Co-op Fees All participating Co-op students are required to pay Co-op fees. For full details, please see the Co-op website . Bachelor of Engineering: Co-op Admission and Continuation Requirements Maintain full-time status in each study term; Be eligible to work in Canada (for off-campus work); Have successfully completed COOP 1000 . In addition to the following: Registered as a full-time student in the B.Eng program; Successfully completed 5.0 or more credits with an Overall CGPA of at least 8.00. It is strongly recommended that students complete all second-year Engineering requirements prior to entering their first work term; An Overall CGPA of at least 8.00 must be maintained in order to remain eligible for the Co-op Program.

2026-27

  • Program Requirements M.A.Sc. Environmental Engineering (5.0 credits) Study at the master's level can be pursued through a thesis leading to a M.A.Sc., a project option leading to a M.Eng., or a coursework option leading to a M. Eng. The requirements for coursework are specified in terms of credits. At Carleton University, 1.0 credit typically comprises three hours of lectures or seminars a week for two terms, or the equivalent. At the University of Ottawa, 1.0 course credit is one hour of instruction per week for one term. Thus 1.0 credit in Carleton University notation is equivalent to 6 course credits in the University of Ottawa notation. The requirements are: Requirements - Thesis option: 1. 2.5 credits in courses, with at least 0.5 credit from each of at least three of the areas of study listed below 2.5 2. Participation in the graduate seminar series: 0.0 ENVE 5800 [0.0] Master's Seminar (participation in the graduate seminar series) 3. 2.5 credits in: 2.5 ENVE 5909 [2.5] Master's Thesis (including successful oral defence) Note: no more than 0.5 credit may be taken from the following: ENVE 5008 , ENVE 5101 , ENVE 5200 , ENVE 5201 , ENVE 5301 Total Credits 5.0 M.Eng. Environmental Engineering (5.0 credits)
  • Breadth Requirement In keeping with the objective of ensuring a breadth of knowledge for graduates of the program, students in the master's program are expected to take at least one graduate level course from each of at least three of the following areas of study: Air Pollution Water Resources Management, Groundwater Management and Contaminant Transport Management of Solid, Hazardous, and Radioactive Waste, and Pollution Prevention Water and Wastewater Treatment Environmental Impact Assessment, Sustainability and Climate Change This requirement serves the objectives of educating graduate professionals who are not only specialized in one area but who are sufficiently familiar with problems and different approaches in the other areas to enable them to interact readily at a technical level with colleagues working in those areas. In addition to the courses associated with the individual areas, students will be encouraged to select courses from fundamental areas such as chemistry, numerical modelling, and applied statistics. In the M.A.Sc., the required number of areas of study may be reduced on admission by approval of the program's Associate Chair (Graduate Studies) depending on the incoming student's background. Master's candidates transferring from another university must take at least half their courses at the Institute. M.A.Sc.
