Control energy with a flip of a switch. Design next-generation microchips or flight control systems. Electrical engineers build electrical and electronic devices and systems that we depend on every day — whether they are very small (like the microchips in our cell phones) or very large (like the power grids or charging stations for electric cars).

Our state-of-the-art labs for digital electronics, electric power systems, microfabrication, circuits and digital communications will give you experience with the tools you’ll use in the field. Through labs, lectures and projects, you’ll also:

• Design circuits and electronics systems
• Study, design and fabricate micro devices
• Design communications systems (protocols, antennas, channel modulation, networks)
• Design power electronics for renewable energy and electric transportation
• Learn signal processing techniques for analysis of bio medical signals
• Design control systems for airplanes and other vehicles
• Work in a Co-op program and get real-world experience in the microelectronics, telecommunications and power industries

Program options & degree requirements

The Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering takes a minimum of four to five years (120 – 150 credits) of full-time study..

In the third year of study, students may choose to take one of five elective options:
