The Institute
Director of the Institute: Roshdy Hafez
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.
