Electrical Engineering

MASc

  • The MASc is a research-based program in which you complete four graduate level courses and a thesis.
  • You will need an advisor and will conduct research under your advisor’s supervision.
  • This program is designed to be completed in two years.
  • Scholarships and graduate assistantships are available by application.
  • Continuation of your education is possible with this degree.

MEng

  • An MEng Degree may be awarded upon successful completion of a total of eight courses (the MEng has no research component/thesis/work with a faculty supervisor). Of these eight courses:
    • Four courses must be from the student's department (major; electrical and computer)
    • Plus four required courses to be taken in the first or second semester of the program: Computational Methods and Modeling for Engineering Applications; Engineering Technical Communications; Engineering Mathematics; and Engineering Project Management
    • Co-op program is optional and students must apply for admission in their first study term.
  • No funding or scholarships are available.
  • Refer to the MEng program website for admission availability and requirements.

PhD

  • An applicant for admission to graduate studies leading to the PhD degree in Electrical engineering must normally be a graduate of a recognized university with a master's degree in applied science (MASc) or the equivalent.
  • Applicants with degrees in related fields will be considered but will normally require strengthening of their background in electrical engineering.
