MSci and MEng?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I am a potential engineering major going to Stanford next year, but as I looked at many other schools' engineering courses, some offered the "Master of Engineering" degree instead of "Master of Science" degree for engineering disciplines. </p>

<p>What is the difference between these two degrees? Is either looked at as more important than the other? How do the employers look at these two different degrees? I know that in UK they offer only MEng for master's programs for engineering. I would appreciate your opinions. Thanks.</p>

<p>Well, at 17, you're first going to be going for a bachelors degree... And then after you get that, you'll go for your masters degree, and you'll have to choose between the MEng and the MS.</p>

<p>We actually had a discussion about this a while back...

<p>Hopefully that'll answer some questions!</p>
