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

The Bachelor's program in Electrical and Computer Engineering consists of two segments: a lower division covering the initial two years and an upper division spanning the final two to two years and eight months. Students can begin their lower division studies at Dalhousie University or any participating institutions in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, including Acadia University, Cape Breton University, St. Francis Xavier University, Saint Mary's University, and the University of Prince Edward Island. Upon finishing the lower division coursework, students earn an Engineering Diploma and can then progress to the upper division, choosing between a standard two-year track or an extended co-op option lasting two years and eight months. The co-op pathway mandates three work terms in industry while enrolled in the degree program, making the upper division duration slightly longer than the standard track. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Engineering degree, with co-op designation if applicable. Program schedules are outlined in the tables below, and students must select their preferred track upon entering upper division. It's important to note that while Dalhousie's co-op office assists with job placements, securing work terms isn't guaranteed, potentially requiring co-op students to transition to the non-co-op program. Additionally, the department provides an accredited Electrical Engineering Bachelor's degree with electrical or computer engineering specializations, but does not offer a standalone accredited Computer Engineering degree.
