Program details

Overview

The programme develops expertise across software-hardware integration, real-time system design, and embedded programming, skills applied in building smart devices that range from robotics and wearables through to self-driving vehicles. Labs, projects and a capstone applied at the end give students hands-on exposure to the development process behind these devices.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires an Ontario College Diploma, Advanced Diploma, degree, or equivalent in computer engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, robotics, computer science, computer systems, or a closely related field. Applicants should have prior programming experience (C or C++ preferred) and a basic background in digital logic, circuits, or microcontroller concepts; familiarity with Linux or Python is considered an asset but not mandatory. The program page does not itself publish IELTS or TOEFL score bands and instead directs applicants with international transcripts to George Brown's general International Admissions and English Proficiency requirements for the accepted tests and minimum scores.
