The University of Waterloo’s MEng program in Electrical and Computer Engineering was created with the purpose of offering a course-based postgraduate degree to further educate, upgrade and update the engineering workforce by providing a steady pool of engineers trained at a postgraduate level in advanced fields. To strengthen this vision further, the department has also identified four key areas of advanced training in the discipline. As a result the optional certificates are being offered in four areas: Management Sciences, Computer Networking Security, Software Engineering and Sustainable Energy.

Students completing the Graduate Diploma program in Management Sciences are expected to:

• achieve a broad perspective on technology management concepts to augment the technical knowledge gained from the courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering; and
• develop knowledge and skill in production and inventory management and economic concepts in management, organizational behavior, and senior management principles.
