Bachelor of Engineering - Electrical Engineering (Optional Co-op)

The Electrical Engineering program is a 4-year degree program. The first-year courses of the Electrical Engineering program will provide the students with grounding in engineering science fundamentals such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and the theory of electric circuits. The second year of the program introduces discrete mathematics, data structures and engineering algorithms, and electrical engineering core subjects such as analog and digital electronic circuits and systems. In the third year of the Electrical Engineering program, the emphasis will shift to advanced subjects such as communication systems, electromagnetics, microcomputer systems, electrical devices and systems, and control theory. The fourth year curriculum provides a wide range of technical elective courses. Students can further specialize in Digital Hardware Design, Communication Systems, Signal Processing, Control Systems and Power Systems by selecting appropriate courses in the fourth year of the program. During this final year of the program, all students complete a mandatory group design project. The Electrical Engineering program prepares students for a wide range of careers in the design, development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of electrical and electronic equipment and systems. More specifically, graduates find employment involving research and development, production engineering and quality control, in a wide range of areas such as electronic design, multimedia, communication, power systems, health care, computer system design and information systems, to name a few.
