Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Electrical Engineering covers five technical specializations: communications, systems, electronics, microwave and photonic, and power and sustainable energy. Delivered on campus at the University of Ottawa's School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science over the regular four-year path, the program totals 123 units. The program is offered in English and in French: all courses are taught in English, and most are also available in French. A co-operative education option lets students alternate academic terms with paid work placements, and the program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. Graduates pursue careers such as electronics and chip design, electromagnetics, communications, signal processing, and power systems and renewable energy engineering, or continue to graduate study in electrical and computer engineering.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U), Advanced Functions 4U (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors 4U (MCV4U), Chemistry 4U (SCH4U), and Physics 4U (SPH4U); Biomedical Mechanical Engineering additionally requires Biology 4U (SBI4U). The published minimum admission average is 80%, with a minimum combined average of 70% required across the science and mathematics prerequisite courses specifically. This line applies uniformly across Biomedical Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering and their combined-degree variants with BSc Computing Technology, as well as the civil-engineering structural/geotechnical and environmental/water-resources options, since the Faculty of Engineering publishes one admission line per base discipline regardless of the option chosen within it. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission in a competitive cycle.
