• The Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering is a 4-year program at Carleton University.
  • Students will have the opportunity to apply to the Co-operative Education Program.
  • Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and manage the manufacture of equipment, ranging from cell phones to giant power generators. 
  • This program gives the following areas:
    • Strong specializations in wireless electronics, integrated circuit design, and fabrication, nanotechnology, green energy, biomedical sensors and technologies, antennas, light-wave devices, aerospace electronics, and design automation.
    • Opportunities for students to design their own integrated circuits in our on-campus fabrication facility—one of the few such facilities at a Canadian university;
    • A progressive co-operative education option; and excellent scholarships for high-standing students.
  • The first year of the program emphasizes fundamentals in mathematics and science.
  • Second-year offers introductory courses in network analysis, electronic circuit design, object-oriented programming, and numerical analysis while continuing to develop a strong base of mathematical and computer skills.
  • Third-year courses provide specialization in digital and analog circuit design, semiconductor device physics, electromagnetics, and real-time programming.
  • Fourth-year offers options for further development in areas such as:
    • wireless electronics
    • Antennas
    • Integrated circuit design
    • Layout and fabrication
    • Fiber optic communications
    • Nanoelectronics
    • Sensors and sensing technology
    • Solar cell/photovoltaic technology, power systems
    • Aerospace electronics and CAD for electronics engineering.
  • The BEng in Electrical Engineering degree program is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.
  • The student to faculty ratio is 9:1 which bridges the gap between faculty and students.
  • Students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of great design projects.
  • After graduating from this program, students will meet the educational requirements for registration as a professional engineer.
  • Carleton University has an acceptance rate of 21%, compared to other Canadian universities.
