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 other 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.
- Carleton University
- SYSC Department of Systems and Computer
Engineering
- ELEC Department of Electronics
- University of Ottawa
- EACJ Department of Electrical Engineering
The CSI designation refers to the Department of Computer
Science at the University of Ottawa. The ELG designation refers
to the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University
of Ottawa.
