Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Enginnering

  • Objectives Electrical engineering involves the design of both the largest and the smallest structures built by humans. Working with transistors smaller than most living cells, electrical engineers design microchips that allow us to control equipment ranging from aircraft engines to domestic appliances, and to establish communications with some of the most remote locations on earth. Electrical engineers are also responsible for the design and construction of the massive systems that generate the electrical power needed by large cities that distribute it to users hundreds of kilometres away. Carleton’s Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree program in Electrical Engineering features strong specializations in telecommunications, integrated circuit design and fabrication, transistor physics, microwave and RF circuits, antennas, light wave devices, and software for computer-aided design (CAD). Carleton also has one of the few in-house fabrication facilities at a Canadian university.
