Electrical an Computer Engineering
The Ewar S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical an Computer Engineering offers grauate courses an research opportunities in three programs of stuy. The Master of Applie Science (MASc) an Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are research-base egree programs an require the completion of a thesis. The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a course-base egree program an may be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.
The MASc program provies stuents with an opportunity to pursue avance stuies in the particular fiel of major interest an an opportunity to engage in re search. The program requires full-time stuy for a minimum of one year, coursework, an a thesis on a research project.
The MEng program is esigne to provie professional training beyon the unergrauate level an to accelerate careers with specialize engineering expertise n eee in business, government, an inustry. The egree requirements, consisting of courses an an optional MEng project, are structure to be complete in one year by a full-time stuent.
The PhD program is esigne for those exceptional iniviuals who inten to pursue a career in funamental or applie research. The program requires coursewor k an the successful completion of a research thesis.
The epartment offers research in the following areas:
· Biomeical Engineering
· Communications
· Computer Engineering
· Electromagnetics
· Electronics
· Energy Systems
· Photonics
· Systems Control
