Electrical Engineering Degree Program

The course schedule for our uniquely designed 4-year Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Electrical Engineering is shown below. The program of study for students seeking only the Electrical Engineering Technology Diploma consists of the Common Year in Applied Science, or equivalent, plus the first two years of the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering Degree Program with the exception of  Engineering 3015 - Engineering Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer and Engineering 3014 - Engineering Chemistry, which are not required.

Qualified engineering technology graduates from accredited Canadian technology programs can enter the degree program in third year after completing post-diploma transition courses offered in the summer session prior to third year. A Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering can be earned in two years of study. See the College Transfer Program and Post-Diploma Program for more information.

Electrical Engineering students will normally select their engineering elective courses from the list provided by the Department. Not all elective courses in this list will be offered every year. Information regarding Complementary Studies elective courses can also be found on this page.

On the advice of the Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department students may interchange the position of the Complementary Studies Electives and Engineering Electives from one year to another in their program to accommodate course selection.

Our programs are governed by a number of regulations. Each student is expected to be familiar with all the rules, regulations and policies of Lakehead University and of the Faculty of Engineering.
