• McMaster University offers MEng Electrical and Computer Engineering for a duration of 16 months if attended full time.
  • It is an on-campus, co-op (optional), course-based program offered on a full-time basis.
  • The MEng program is available with 2 different options:
    • The MEng-Project consists of a combination of courses and a project.
    • The MEng-Course consists of only coursework.
  • In this program, students are required to complete a 7 graduate half-courses (or equivalent), of which at least 4 must be 700-level and up to two 600-level courses approved by the department.
  • The different research areas of the Electrical and Computer Engineering program are:
    • Biomedical information technology
    • Computer-aided design
    • Image Processing and Multimedia
    • Microwaves and Photonics-Optoelectronics
    • Networks and Signal Processing
  • Firstly, this program enables students to enhance their knowledge and skills in key areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering at which students will be able to lead the implementation of the technologies of today.
  • Second, it seeks students to develop an understanding of the principles that underlie these technologies, so that they will be able to critically evaluate future advances in the state-of-the-art.
  • The co-op program helps students to increase their academic learning skills and the student-faculty ratio of this program is 6:1 which increases the interaction between faculty and students.
  • McMaster University is home to the best laboratories and brightest minds in the country who work every day to improve human and societal health and well-being and ranks 6th in the country in the research intensity.
  • The department is ranked as one of the best departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering both nationally and internationally. 
  • The Faculty member of the department is regular award winners including the prestigious Premier Research Excellence Award (PREA), OCUFA teaching award, McMaster Students Union Teaching Award, etc.
