BA/BS in Electrical Engineering

This is McGill's Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering, offered through the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. The program gives students a broad understanding of the principles behind advances in computer technology, micro-electronics, automation and robotics, telecommunications, and power systems, with the page describing graduates as exposed to all the basic elements of electrical engineering and able to work across client industries. It contrasts this breadth with the narrower focus of a computer scientist or physicist. Alongside technical complementary courses, students take general complementary courses in social sciences, administrative studies, and humanities, which the page says lets them pursue specific interests such as psychology, economics, management, or political science. The page does not describe co-op placements, capstone design projects, or a specific delivery format beyond the program's base in the Faculty of Engineering. It suits students who want broad technical grounding across electrical engineering's major subfields rather than early specialization, while also having room to pursue non-technical interests through complementary coursework.
