About the Program
The Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering was formed in May 1983 combining the graduate programs and research activities in the area of electrical and computer engineering of the Department of Electronics, Carleton University, Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa.
Through the resources provided by the two universities, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute offers graduate programs at both master's and doctoral levels in all areas of electrical and computer engineering. The Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering is one of a number of joint institutes/centers in science and engineering that have been established between the University of Ottawa and Carleton University.
Academic Regulations
See the General Regulations section of this Calendar.
Admission Requirements
The normal requirement for admission to a master's program is a bachelor's degree with at least high honours standing in electrical engineering or a related discipline.
Program Requirements
Subject to the approval of the departmental chair, a student may take up to half of the course credits in the program in other disciplines (e.g., Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics).
Master's programs with a thesis earn the Master of Applied Science degree, while other master's programs earn the Master of Engineering degree.
