Program Overview

B.Sc.A. Electrical Engineering Program

The B.Sc.A. Electrical Engineering program is at the heart of technological evolution, offering five technical specializations: telecommunications, systems engineering, electronics, microwave and photonic engineering, and power and renewable energy. These specializations enable students to influence global communication, create renewable energy, and develop medical treatments. Electrical engineers collaborate with other engineers and scientists to design new technologies.

Program Overview

The program requires 123 credits and is offered in both French and English. All courses are available in French and English, although some advanced courses may be offered in English only. The cooperative education regime is available with this program.

Notes

1. A graduate-level course can replace a 4000-level course for students with a CGPA of at least 7.0, subject to the approval of the Faculty.
2. CEG 4586 cannot be chosen as a technical elective in the telecommunications option.
3. CEG 4590 cannot be part of the list of technical electives for students in the computer science program.
4. Complementary first-cycle elective courses include GNG 2501, GNG 4570, and GNG 4120, but exclude all courses offered by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering, as well as all courses with content in science, mathematics, or engineering.
