Program details

Overview

Electrical Engineering is a Bachelor of Engineering program at Carleton University covering the design, development and testing of electrical and electronic systems, from microchips and photonics to large-scale power grids. Students study microchip fabrication, electromagnetics, communications hardware and power systems, with specialization options in wireless electronics, integrated circuit design and fabrication, nanotechnology, green energy, biomedical sensors and technologies, antennas, light-wave devices, aerospace electronics and design automation. The program provides access to specialized laboratories and Carleton's Microfabrication Facility, one of the few integrated circuit manufacturing facilities at a Canadian university. A paid co-op option offers work terms of 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 months. Graduates pursue careers in areas such as biomedicine, biotechnology and biomedical engineering, communications technology, computing hardware development, electrical power systems, fibre optic communications and integrated circuit design.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Engineering requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, with a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M courses. Four of these six courses must be the required 4U prerequisites: Advanced Functions, Chemistry, and Physics, plus one of Calculus and Vectors (recommended), Biology, or Earth and Space Science. A 4U course in English or French is recommended but not required for admission. The overall admission average and the prerequisite-course average are set each year on a program-by-program basis, and meeting the stated minimum only establishes eligibility for consideration; because places are limited, the cut-off average for a given intake year is typically well above the minimum. Applicants seeking direct entry to the co-op option must meet the required overall and prerequisite-course cut-off averages, be registered full-time in the program, and be eligible to work in Canada.
