Department of Systems and Computer Engineering
Ottawa, Canada

The Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University has special strengths in the areas of telecommunications, computer systems, and the analysis and management of engineering processes. This is only natural given our location in Ottawa, Canada, a busy "silicon valley" of innovative high technology companies working in telecommunications and software development. There are numerous cooperative research projects in conjunction with local companies. Our location in Ottawa also gives us the advantage of access to government research laboratories, libraries, etc.

The Department, as a recognized leader in these fields, participates in both provincial and national Centres of Excellence: TRIO (Telecommunications Research Institute of Ontario) and CITR (Canadian Institute for Telecommunications Research).

Undergraduate Programs
BEng in Computer Systems Engineering
BEng in Electrical Engineering
BEng in Communications Engineering
Graduate Programs
MEng in Electrical Engineering
MEng in Telecommunications Technology Management
MSc in Information and Systems Science (for those lacking an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering or computer science)
PhD in Electrical Engineering
The MEng and PhD programs in Electrical Engineering are offered jointly with the Department of Electronics and the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ottawa through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering (OCIECE). The OCIECE linkage provides access to a greater range of Professors, facilities, courses and research for students in all three departments. The OCIECE constitutes one of the largest graduate programs in Electrical Engineering in Canada.

The Department of Systems and Computer Engineering has 25 professors plus 10 adjunct professors. There are approximately 185 graduate students. Our facilities include state-of-the-art computing and telecommunications equipment and software.
