The Institute
Director of the Institute, Abbas Yongacoglu
The Institute was established in 1983. By combining the programs and resources of the School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE) at the University of Ottawa and the Departments of Electronics and of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, OCIECE has become one of the largest electrical and computer engineering graduate studies/research groups in Canada. Programs leading to master's and Ph.D. degrees are available through the Institute in a wide range of fields of electrical and computer engineering.

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). Master's programs with a thesis earn the Master of Applied Science degree, while master's program with course work and project earn the Master of Engineering degree.
- Master's by thesis:
- 6 one-term courses + thesis
- Master's by course work:
- 9 one-term courses + project
- Co-operative Master's with thesis:
- 6 one-term courses +thesis
- Co-operative Master's by course work:
- 8 one-term courses + 2 projects
- (project being conducted in one work term)
- Ph.D.:
- Minimum 3 to 5 one-term courses
- (required number of courses determined
- during the admission process) + comprehensive exam + thesis
- In the Ph.D. program coursework of a minimum of three one-term courses is normally for electrical/computer engineers or computer scientists who have done their master's thesis in a Canadian University. A minimum of five one-term courses is for applicants from overseas.
