The Institute
Director of the Institute, Barry Syrett
Established in 1983, the Institute combines the research strengths and
resources of the Departments of Electronics and of Systems and Computer
Engineering at Carleton University and the Department of Electrical Engineering
at the University of Ottawa. Programs leading to master's and Ph.D. degrees
are available through the Institute in a wide range of fields of electrical
engineering. Graduate students may pursue their research on either university
campus, depending upon the choice of supervisor.
Registration will be at the university most appropriate to the student's
program of studies and research. Requests for information and applications
for admission should be sent to the Director of the Institute.

Master's Degree
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
The requirements for course work are specified in terms of credits: one
credit = one hour/week for one term. 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). At
the University of Ottawa, master's programs with a thesis earn the Master
of Applied Science degree, while other master's programs earn the Master
of Engineering degree. At Carleton University, all master's programs earn
the Master of Engineering degree.
Master's Degree by Thesis
* Eighteen course credits plus thesis
Master's Degree by Course Work
* Twenty-seven course credits plus a project (nominally six credits)
Cooperative Master's Degree by Thesis
* Eighteen course credits plus a thesis
Cooperative Master's Degree by Course Work
* Twenty-four course credits plus two projects (each conducted in one
work term)
Participation in the cooperative master's program is subject to acceptance
by a suitable sponsoring organization.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission Requirements
The normal requirement for admission into the Ph.D. program is a master's
degree with thesis in electrical engineering or a related discipline.
Program Requirements
The requirements for course work are specified in terms of credits: one
credit = one hour/week for one term. Subject to the approval of the advisory
committee, a student may take up to half of the course credits in the program
in other disciplines (e.g., Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics).
* A minimum of nine course credits
* A comprehensive examination involving written and oral examinations
and a written thesis proposal, to take place before the end of the fourth
term of registration
* A thesis which must be defended at an oral examination
Graduate Courses
In all programs, the student may choose graduate courses from either university
with the approval of the adviser or advisory committee. Course descriptions
may be found in the departmental section of the calendar. All courses are
of one term duration. Only a selection of courses listed is given in a
particular academic year. The following codes identify the department offering
the course.
