Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical Engineering University of Ottawa Room C406 Colonel By Hall Telephone: 564-2495 Fax: 564-6882 The Institute Director of the Institute: Emil Petriu 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. Members of the Institute The "home" department of each member is indicated by (OE) for the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Ottawa; (CE) for the Department of Electronics, Carleton University; (SCE) for the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University. * Adjunct Research Professor.

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 requirements 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 fourteen 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.
