By dedicating itself to program excellence, the Department seeks to prepare its graduates not only to practice their professions well into the 21st century, but also to participate in national and international affairs as good citizens with a social conscience. It is equally dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and graduate education, and to the development of the professions of engineering and computer science. The Department strives to provide an environment of equal opportunity, collegiality, and lively intellectual debate for all members of its community.
Electrical Engineering is concerned primarily with energy and information and their conversion/transmission in the most efficient and reliable manner. This vast field of endeavor includes many specialties and Electrical Engineers may be involved in one or more of these throughout their careers. A partial list includes: electronics, integrated circuit design, very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit design, layout and testing, controls, robotics, system simulation, telecommunications, signal processing, computer hardware design, software design, power devices, power and control systems, electromechanical systems, microelectromechanical devices, electromagnetic, antennas, wave guides, lasers, and optoelectronics.
General admission requirements are listed in §13. In addition, the following specific requirements exist for the various programs. Applicants should specify their choice of program on their application. Students entering the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science are presumed to have acquired some familiarity with computers and programming, either through a course or through time spent working with a personal or other computer.
APPLICANTS FROM QUÉBEC INSTITUTIONS
Successful completion of a two‑year pre‑university cégep program is required, including the specific
courses in the appropriate profile, as follows:
Cégep Profile
Mathematics 201 —
103 or NYA, 105 or NYC, 203 or NYB credits.
Physics 203 —
101 or NYA, 201 or NYB
Chemistry 202 —
101 or NYA
Applications from graduates of cégep technology programs will also be considered. Program requirements for successful applicants will be determined on an individual basis. For more information, please consult the University Undergraduate Calendar.
APPLICANTS FROM OUTSIDE QUÉBEC
Academic qualifications presented by students applying from institutions outside Québec should be
comparable to those expected of students applying from within Québec.
Where the pre‑university education is shorter than in Québec, students may be considered for admission
to the first year of the Extended Credit Program.
The objectives of these regulations are:
a) to ensure that the Faculty can certify that all of its graduates are qualified to enter their
profession, and
b) to ensure that students can, with the assistance or intervention of the Faculty, assess themselves
objectively and plan programs of study designed to meet their individual needs.
Grading System
See §16.3.3 for the Concordia grading system.
NOTE: Although a “C-” grade is designated as Satisfactory, a weighted grade point average of 2.00 is
required for acceptable standing in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science.
Regulations
1. Students’ standings are assessed at the end of each academic year providing they have
registered for at least 12 credits subsequent to their previous assessment, or in the case of a first
assessment, subsequent to their admission to a program of study.
Standings of students who have attempted less than 12 credits since their last assessment are
assessed as follows:
2. Students’ standings are determined according to the following criteria.
The program in Electrical Engineering consists of the Engineering Core, the Electrical Engineering Core, and one of two options as set out below. The normal length of the program is 120 credits. For more detailed course requirements, please check the following PDF files from the Concordia UndergraduateCalendar for The Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science.
