BEng in Electrical Engineering (Co-op) in Halifax Canada | Dalhousie University

Electrical and Computer Engineering professionals envision and create the innovations that will shape tomorrow. Modern civilization depends extensively on electrical, electronic, and computing systems, driving significant demand for skilled engineers in these fields.

Electrical Engineering focuses on designing, developing, and evaluating electrical systems (including radio frequencies and communication signals). Pursuing Electrical Engineering at Dalhousie demands proficiency in mathematics, electrical principles, electromagnetism, and electronic systems, while exploring areas like power distribution, control mechanisms, telecommunications, and signal analysis.
During the initial two years of study, all engineering students participate in the Core Engineering Program, available at both the Sexton Campus in Halifax and the Agricultural Campus in Truro. This curriculum includes fundamental coursework in mathematics, sciences, engineering principles, and design, establishing a comprehensive engineering foundation.

After completing first year, students may apply to one of six specialized engineering programs, including Electrical and Computer Engineering. Admission to specific disciplines is competitive, determined by academic achievement during the first year of study.
