Engineering Systems and Computing

PhD, MASc, MEng

Today electronics and computers are embedded in all engineering systems. As a graduate student you will develop and implement such systems in a rich and multidisciplinary environment.

The integration of systems, the interaction of components, from mechanical to electrical, and the achievement of efficient and reliable operation are the aim of the Systems and Computer Engineering program. Our students build skills, knowledge, and expertise to make a contribution in developing and implementing the technology for the 21st century. There are few other programs with the same range of activities and opportunities.
