More information on Electrical Engineering:
Electrical Engineers make the world greener. They give us entertainment, bring light to our homes, improve weather forecasts, help ships and airplanes navigate, and enable us to call a friend on the other side of the globe. Many of the things we enjoy, and things we depend on, have been designed by Electrical Engineers. Simply stated, Electrical Engineers create systems that are powered by electricity. From the latest consumer products such as HDTVs and smart portable devices, to the power distribution network that brings electricity to our homes, the fruits of Electrical Engineering are everywhere. Electrical Engineers also design ultrasound machines, artificial limbs, cellular phones, and thousands of other electrical systems that we take for granted.
At Concordia University we focus on the talent of our students and enable their creative power in engineering. Our Electrical Engineering program offers the full spectrum of electrical engineering specializations. Our program provides the fundamentals needed for a successful career in Electrical Engineering, namely, mathematics, engineering science, circuit analysis, electronics, and computer systems, and features a variety of specializations, allowing students to customize their degrees to their own interests.
Equipped with a solid foundation, students then gain the depth of expertise today's markets demand through one of our options: electronics/VLSI, telecommunications, power and renewable energy, and avionics and control. Our innovative program has been designed to meet the changing needs and expectations of industry leaders.
We understand the role that hands-on experience plays in solidifying students' command of engineering concepts. Our courses, which are offered in small class sizes, are taught by faculty members who are world-renowned researchers, and who bring their industrial experience and cutting-edge knowledge to the classroom to enrich the students' learning experience. We emphasize practical work, integrating classroom instruction with experimental learning, with more than 30 courses using up-to-date equipment in modern laboratories.
In their final year of study, students tackle a significant multi-disciplinary engineering project that will provide them the experience of working in a team, and implementing their design as a working prototype. To prepare students for their final-year project, we offer third-year students a novel, semester-long team design project course. Through these team projects, students hone their technical and non-technical skills. Concordia's Electrical Engineering graduates have long been recognized by recruiters from industry as having the theoretical and practical skills needed for success. Our program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and our graduates are eligible to become registered professional engineers.
The B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering is a 120-credit program which normally takes four years of full-time study after CEGEP. Out-of-province students finishing high school after grade 12 are required to take additional math and science courses at Concordia, to ensure a strong command of these fundamental subjects. Courses in the B.Eng. program are in these main areas:
Students may then choose one of four specializations:
The Avionics and Control Option (30 credits) includes courses in flight-control, avionics navigation systems, real-time computer control, and standards, regulation and certification, and provides training in airborne aerospace systems.
The Electronics/VLSI Option (30 credits) includes courses in analog and digital electronics, VLSI design, semiconductor devices, and process technology. These courses jump-start students for a career in the ever-broadening field of electronics.
The Power and Renewable Energy Option (30 credits) includes courses in controlled electric drives and renewable energy systems. Future smart grids will incorporate renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and advanced control techniques for optimal energy management. This option features timely courses which train students to solve current and future industry issues.
The Telecommunications Option (30 credits) includes courses in digital communications, telecommunication networks, digital signal processing, wireless communications, and optical communications. It prepares students for careers in Canadian and global telecommunications industry.
Those students who do not wish to choose a specialization must choose a minimum of 30 credits from the Electrical Engineering electives list.
As a graduate of our Electrical Engineering program, you will be ready for a professional career worldwide. Our graduates find jobs internationally and domestically, with many companies in Montreal and nearby Ottawa, such as
