Honours BSc in Physics / BASc in Electrical Engineering

University of Ottawa

Physicists have revolutionized the way we live our lives, with groundbreaking discoveries and new technologies, transferable to other fields such as biology or finance. Our professors and graduates are an important part of this chain. Many of our professors have also been recognized for their teaching and are seen as world-class researchers in their fields of expertise.The research conducted by the professors in the Department of Physics is concentrated in several sub-specialties, including the physics of biological and complex systems, condensed matter physics, photonics and the physics of geomaterials. Depending upon your choice of program, you have the opportunity to take courses and participate in research projects in these specialized areas.Electrical engineering is at the heart of today's exciting advances in technology. With five technical specializations-communications, systems, electronics, microwave and photonic, and power and sustainable energy-our curriculum will enable you to influence how the world communities communicate, generate sustainable energy and heal diseases. As an electrical engineer, you will work with other engineers or scientists on emerging technologies. The option of Engineering Management will prepare you with necessary skills to pursue entrepreneurial activities and start your own technology-related business. The double degree program-BASc in Electrical Engineering and BSc in Computing Technology-will put you at the intersection of the two areas that propel the waves of technological development.
