General Information
Electrical Engineering is concerned with the application of electricity for the design and development of new and enhanced products and services. It is a discipline that has grown to include a diversity of fields including: microelectronics, digital and wireless communications, control systems, power systems, signal processing and computer technology. Electrical engineers have made remarkable contributions. Cellular phones, DVD players, industrial control systems, radio and television, smart vehicles, maglev trains, spacecraft, GPS units, wind generators and microcomputers are but a few. With advances in technology Electrical Engineering offers even more exciting possibilities.
The Electrical Engineering Program is one of three distinct programs offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The Department also administers the Computer Engineering Program, and the Software Engineering Program is administered jointly with the Faculty of Computer Science. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is committed to delivering a high quality program that prepares students for entering the workforce to become as Professional Engineers.
A foundation is first developed in mathematics, science and engineering. Students are then introduced to more advanced topics in Electrical Engineering, and in the final year, students broaden their knowledge by choosing a number of elective courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering, or in such related areas as Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and other Engineering disciplines. Courses that lead to completion of the Control and Instrumentation Option may also be selected. The program also makes available courses in cultural subjects that provide students with an awareness of social and professional perspectives, both as individuals and as future engineers.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering believes strongly in the value of relevant industrial experience. The Department endorses the Professional Experience Program and the Co-op Program and students who wish to gain industrial experience are strongly encouraged to participate in either of these internship programs. Students planning to take Co-op or PEP are advised to plan well ahead and to consult with the program coordinator in order to minimize problems arising from timetabling restrictions and prerequisite requirements.
The Department also supports emerging research that advances technology and fosters scientific discovery.
