Editing Master of Engineering (section)

===United States===
In the [[United States]], the Master of Engineering degree is generally a professional degree offered as a coursework-based alternative to the traditional research-based Master of Science. It is typically a one-year program, entered after the completion of a 4-year bachelor's degree and many universities allow students to choose between the Master of Engineering and the Master of Science.

The Master of Engineering degree is offered at many leading universities in the United States on either a full-time and part-time (weekends or evenings) basis.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gordon.tufts.edu/programs/m-s-in-engineering-management/academic-calendar/weekend|title=Flexible Schedule - Gordon Institute at Tufts University|website=tufts.edu}}</ref>

Some MEng degree programs require a scholarly project in addition to coursework. They require additional courses beyond those required for Master of Science students in order to better prepare students for professional careers. Some of them highly encourage students to participate in collaborative consulting projects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gordon.tufts.edu/programs/m-s-in-engineering-management/program-structure#tabs|title=MSEM Curriculum - Gordon Institute|website=tufts.edu|access-date=13 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223181030/http://gordon.tufts.edu/programs/m-s-in-engineering-management/program-structure#tabs|archive-date=23 December 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> These courses may include topics such as business fundamentals, management and leadership.<ref>Master of Engineering, Duke University, http://meng.pratt.duke.edu/</ref>
