Electrical and Computer Engineering

Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.)

In our Master of Applied Science (MASc) program, in addition to seeking to enable students to enhance their knowledge and skills, we also seek to provide an environment that fosters creativity and research excellence on an international scale in a particular field of electrical and computer engineering, and inspires students to a career of contributions to our communities through leadership of advances in the state-of-the-art in their fields of interest. The MASc program requires a candidate to successfully complete at least four graduate half courses or equivalent and to prepare a thesis embodying the results of the research taken on by the candidate.

Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)

Our Master of Engineeing (MEng) program has two related goals. First, it seeks to enable students to enhance their knowledge and skills in key areas of electrical and computer engineering to a level at which they will be able to lead the implementation the technologies of today. Second, it seeks to enable them to develop an understanding of the principles that underlie these technologies, so that they will be able to critically evaluate future advances in the state-of-the-art, and to lead creative applications of these advances to develop innovative products and services that address the needs of local, national, international and global communities. This program, which offers a wide range of specializations, requires a candidate.to successfully complete seven graduate half courses or equivalent.

Doctorate (Ph.D.)

In our Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program, in addition to seeking to enable students to enhance their knowledge and skills, we also seek to provide an environment that fosters creativity and research excellence on an international scale in a particular field of electrical and computer engineering, and inspires students to a career of contributions to our communities through leadership of advances in the state-of-the-art in their fields of interest. The minimum number of graduate courses required is four half courses (or equivalent) beyond the Master's degree, or eight half courses (or equivalent) beyond the Bachelor's degree. The candidate is also required to prepare a thesis embodying the results of the research taken on by the candidate beyond the Master's level.
