Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering

McMaster University is a public institution located in Hamilton, Ontario, founded in 1887. It has additional campuses in Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Niagara, and downtown Hamilton. The university offers six main academic divisions including engineering, health sciences, humanities, science, social sciences, and the DeGroote School of Business. The university also has a unique arts and science program that offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate experience. McMaster has over 60 research centers and institutes, including a nuclear reactor used for research. One-fifth of Albert Einstein's brain is even stored in one of the university's labs for neuroscientific study.

Electrical Engineering involves the design of devices and systems that employ the flow of electrons to achieve useful purposes. It encompasses electrical power generation and distribution, robotics, electronics, wired and wireless communications, optoelectronics, signal processing, computers, radar, medical imaging and many other technologies. Electrical Engineering is a broad-based, classical discipline with room for specialization: both computer engineering and biomedical engineering developed from the foundations of electrical engineering. This program focuses heavily on the physical design of electronics, electromagnetics and communication systems. Power systems, sustainable energy, and computer hardware/software are integrated into the program.
