The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers graduate programs at the Master's (Master of Applied Science - MASc/Master of Engineering - MEng) and Doctoral (PhD) levels. Graduate programs in this department cover the following areas of Electrical Engineering. The research being carried out is fully described in the Department Graduate Studies brochure. The middle digit in a course number represents the general area. A '6' in the first digit represents a regularly scheduled course; a '7' in the first digit represents an advanced graduate course offered when there is sufficient demand.

A one-term (0.5 unit weight) course at the graduate level counts as one course/unit. Two units/courses are given to graduate courses extending over two terms (certain Mathematics and Science courses). The normal maximum course load is four units per term for a full-time student. Five units/courses may be taken only with special permission.
A faculty supervisor is appointed to supervise the program of study of each graduate student. New students must meet with their supervisor prior to graduate course registration to arrange a coursework program and discuss research interests. Students' progress will be reviewed at least once each term by their supervisor. Any change in either coursework or research program must be specifically approved prior to registration in the subsequent term.
