Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate students have the opportunity to work with an advisor in one of twelve research areas in the department. While a specific topic of focus is expected, the research conducted in many of the areas is interdisciplinary. This gives students experience with other facets of electrical and computer engineering, and engineering physics. The twelve areas of research in ECE include: biomedical engineering; communications; computer engineering; control systems; electromagnetics and microwaves; energy systems; integrated circuits and systems; microsystems and nanodevices; photonics and plasmas; signal and image processing; software engineering and intelligent systems; solid state electronics.

Program Requirements:

The Master of Engineering program is a course-based program.

Students are required to complete a minimum of ★27.5 in coursework including a ★3 project.

Coursework:

Eight ★3 graduate-level courses which must be approved by the Associate Chair - Graduate Program
ENGG 600 (★0.5)- Engineering Ethics and Integrity
Additional coursework may be required.

Capstone Project:

ECE 910 (★3) – Directed Research Project.

Ethics Requirement:

Engineering students meet their ethics requirement through ENGG 600 and the FGSR Graduate Ethics Training (GET) course.

Professional Development Requirement:

Engineering students must meet their Professional Development requirement through the completion of two courses, registration for which is through eClass.

Academic Standing Requirement:

Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 throughout the course of the program.

Failure to maintain the required cumulative GPA will normally result in a recommendation by the Associate Chair – Graduate Program to FGSR that the student be placed on academic probation or required to withdraw.

Residence Requirement:

The minimum period of residence is one four-month term of full-time attendance at the University of Alberta.

Length of Program:

The time required to complete the MEng is typically one and a half years to two years.
