The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University provides graduate programs focused on thesis research, awarding Master of Engineering (MEng) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in Electrical Engineering.
Students pursuing computer or electrical engineering can utilize diverse engineering software for various applications, including mathematical computations (MAPLE and MATLAB), circuit simulations (SPICE, PSPICE, electronics workbench), VLSI and FPGA development (Synopsys, Cadence, Xilinx), and software creation (Rational Rose, Visual Paradigm, Microsoft development tools). Specialized resources include the INCA Centre, Computer Engineering Research Laboratories (encompassing the Centre for Digital Hardware Applications Research, Software Engineering Research Laboratory, Multimedia Communications and Remote Sensing Laboratory, and Computer-Aided Design Laboratory for Analog and Mixed Signal VLSI Systems), along with the AWCRL and Power Devices and Systems Laboratory. Additional research facilities are accessible through partnerships with industry and government.
Typically requiring three to four years, the PhD program involves two advanced courses beyond the master's level, comprehensive exams, and an extensive research thesis.
