Graduates with an honours undergraduate degree or equivalent (typically a four-year program with full-time enrolment) from an accredited university in electrical or computer engineering, with at least a B+ average in the last two years of study, may be admitted as candidates for the Master of Applied Science program in electrical and computer engineering. In addition, those admitted must have completed the equivalent of a senior-level project course or thesis in electrical or computer engineering. Significant industrial or research experience in electrical or computer engineering coupled with an honours undergraduate degree program or equivalent from an accredited university will be considered equivalent to an undergraduate electrical or computer engineering thesis.
