Electrical engineering encompasses a large number of exciting and diverse areas of study. Areas such as: electronics and computers; energy generation, distribution, and utilization; communications; and computer-aided design and manufacturing are only a few of the directions that Electrical Engineering students can choose after graduation.
The program of study encompasses courses outside the department and provides a professional education sufficiently fundamental in nature so as to allow the student to choose his or her specific area of professional specialization after graduation. This philosophy of education recognizes that the professional responsibilities of graduate engineers evolve throughout their careers. Graduates of this program are able to engage, from the outset of their career, in decision making with a much broader and professionally mature perspective than is possible when premature specialization at the undergraduate level is permitted. The program of study also provides excellent preparation for those students who may wish to continue their formal education with graduate study and research.
The Department offers a number of seminars featuring professionals from outside the University community. Students are encouraged to participate in these seminars and in other professional development activities as determined by the Department. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers has an active student chapter on campus.
Note: The baccalaureate degree program in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.
Common to all Engineering programs (see 8.4.1). In the Summer term, Co-op students also will register in 85-198 (Work Term I).
