Master of Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering and Concentration Applied Artificial Intelligence

The Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a concentration in Applied Artificial Intelligence combines the standard ECE graduate curriculum with a minimum of 12 units of artificial-intelligence-focused coursework. Core courses include Applied Machine Learning and Ethics for Design, AI, and Robotics, with further options in deep learning, reinforcement learning, robotics, and autonomous systems. The degree requires 27 course units in total and is completed within two years of full-time study on a coursework basis. Graduates gain the skills to apply artificial intelligence theory in industry, government, and academic settings, building on the shared research strengths of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering, a joint program between the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. Admission is assessed on an electrical and computer engineering background, with the concentration layering artificial-intelligence coursework on top of the standard ECE degree requirements.
