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 Maste r'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.
