Offered by Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada, Electrical Engineering, Honours Bachelor of Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 23,452 per year (CAD 9,085 per year for local students).
Accreditation from the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board means graduates of this degree hold the academic qualifications needed for professional engineer licensure in Canada. The program follows the CDIO model of Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate, with up to half of class time spent in labs putting theory into practice through built systems. Students choose a specialization in the third and fourth years, between an energy stream geared toward the electrical utility sector and a mechatronics stream covering automation and instrumentation. A four-month internship takes place after the second year, an optional co-op of up to 16 months is available after the third, and cross-disciplinary projects run through every year of study, taught by faculty holding PhDs and professional engineering designations.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Academic (Ontario basis): an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or accepted equivalent carrying English Grade 12 (ENG4U); either Physics Grade 12 U or Chemistry Grade 12 U; both Grade 12 U mathematics courses, Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U); and two further Grade 12 credits at the U or M level, with an overall average of at least 70 per cent. The alternative is two semesters of postsecondary study including those required courses at the same 70 per cent average; equivalency testing cannot substitute at degree level. An international applicant must present the equivalent of these Ontario courses from their own school system, and a credential assessment may be requested; a domestic applicant schooled outside Canada has transcripts assessed through ICAS or WES. English, where English is not your first language or your earlier study was in another language: Sheridan's degree band - IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band under 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with nothing under 21 (or 4.5 with no section under 4.5 on the scale used from 2026), PTE Academic 60 with no section under 57, Duolingo 115 with no subscore under 95, CAEL 70 with no section under 60; a result must be no more than 24 months old on the first day of class. Sheridan offers a Degree Entrance Scholarship to selected applicants to this program, with no separate application described on the program page.
Application Details
Start Date:Sheridan runs three terms a year - Fall starting in September, Winter in January and Spring/Summer in May. For 2026-27 the Fall term ran 8 September to 18 December 2026, Winter runs 6 January to 16 April 2027, and Spring/Summer runs 3 May to 13 August 2027. On 6 September 2026 this program's own page listed intakes in September 2026 and January 2027 at the Davis Campus in Brampton. Sheridan's Start date table also carries a separate Domestic and International status for each intake (Available, Waitlisted or Closed) that changes as seats fill, so check this program's page on sheridancollege.ca before you apply.
Application Deadline:Sheridan publishes no deadline of its own for this program; the dates below are the college-wide ones. DOMESTIC APPLICANTS (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through ontariocolleges.ca, which opened the Fall 2027 application on 26 September 2026 - Sheridan says it starts receiving those applications in early October for the academic year that follows. The equal consideration date is 1 February: apply on or before it and your file is weighed alongside every other one received by then for a Fall-term start, so for the cycle now open that means 1 February 2027 for entry in September 2027. Sheridan still accepts applications after that date wherever a program has not filled, but they are handled in the order they arrive, which leaves little room in high-demand programs. First offers for a September start may go out from 1 November; programs that require a portfolio, audition or resume begin issuing decisions later in March, and offers for the Winter and Spring/Summer intakes are made on a rolling basis. Confirm a Fall offer at ontariocolleges.ca by 1 May, or by the date printed on an offer issued after that, then pay the tuition deposit three months before the term begins. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS apply instead through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, and Sheridan publishes no deadline for them - its Important Dates table carries only a note that the international dates are still to be posted. What limits an international application in practice is space: Sheridan tells international applicants to check that a program still has room before applying, and every program page shows a separate International status for each intake. Apply as early as you can and leave time for a study permit. Confirm the current dates at sheridancollege.ca and ontariocolleges.ca before you apply.
