Students in the MRE program will take newly developed courses, bringing global experts and researchers to the classroom to both teach and work with students on hands-on projects with real-world applications.
From advanced physics to machine movement to artificial intelligence, the MRE program delivers a rounded and demanding four-year program that covers every aspect of the field.
Queen’s MRE program brings globally leading hardware and software into the classroom, letting students get hands-on with some of the planet’s most sophisticated equipment.
Please note that MRE curriculum development is still in progress. The curriculum below is subject to further change or revision, as needed, to best realize the educational goals of the program.
