Our graduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering are recognized for their creativity and analytical skills, with students contributing to about 90% of our department's annual invention disclosures. Many receive prestigious awards from organizations like NSERC and CIHR. In the previous year, research-focused students secured over $12.5 million in funding, while our favorable 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio fosters strong mentorship connections. Graduates excel across diverse sectors including engineering, business, healthcare, and law.
The PhD program enables students to achieve specialized expertise in their chosen discipline, requiring original contributions to their field. Alongside faculty-supervised research, candidates complete coursework and a qualifying exam, typically finishing within four years with departmental financial support. PhD candidates are encouraged to publish in top-tier international journals and conferences.
ECE's electronics research represents one of North America's most established and extensive programs, boasting distinguished alumni like Professors K.C. Smith and Adel Sedra. Our work spans digital, analog, mixed-signal, and high-frequency electronics, including integrated circuits and systems operating from DC to 1THz.
