Program details

Overview

Electrical Engineering is a Bachelor of Science in Engineering offered through the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, requiring 142 credit units. Students complete a common first-year engineering core before competing for admission to the upper-year program, then progress through required courses and electives across years two to four. The curriculum covers analog and digital electronics, microelectronics, signal processing, communications, power generation, transmission and distribution, electrical machines, computing systems, controls, computer vision, and robotics. Within the program, students select two focus areas from Power and Energy, Digital Signal Processing and Applications, Sensors, Circuits and Devices, or Autonomous Mobile Robotics, allowing some tailoring of the degree toward particular technical interests. Complementary studies electives in humanities, social science, and science are integrated throughout the four years. The program suits students with an interest in electronics, power systems, telecommunications, robotics, and related technical fields who want breadth across electrical engineering before narrowing their focus through the chosen specialization areas. Graduates are prepared for technical roles across a wide range of electrical and electronics-related industries.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Electrical Engineering is entered through the College of Engineering's common first year: all students admitted to Engineering complete a shared first-year curriculum before declaring Electrical Engineering and competing for a place in the upper-year program. For direct entry from a Saskatchewan high school the college requires Chemistry 30, Physics 30 and Pre-Calculus 30, each with a minimum grade of 70%, plus a regular-admission average of 80% (90% qualifies for early admission), calculated from the required Grade 12 subjects. English proficiency is USask's general undergraduate Language Proficiency Regulations (admissions.usask.ca/requirements/english-language-proficiency.php): IELTS Academic 6.5/6.0, TOEFL iBT 86/19, PTE Academic 63/59, Duolingo 120/100, CAEL 70/60. Requirements differ for applicants from other provinces or countries, and the college designates seats for verified Indigenous applicants. This is a Fall (September) intake only.

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
