* All MEng students are required to complete an engineering report during the last semester before graduation. The PETE 692 Professional Study (Project) course provides supervision and advising to students as they prepare this paper. We recommend registration at least one semester before the paper will be due to allow students the opportunity to work closely with the professor in planning, organizing, drafting, and completing the paper.
