Electrical & Computer Engineering

The future starts here. The fields of electrical and computer engineering are the engine that powers the technology of the 21st century. As an ECE student, you’ll apply math and physics to solve complex challenges from combatting climate change, to improving health care, to ensuring internet security and more.

Electrical engineering applies the laws of physics and information to develop the electrical, electronic and computational components that lie at the core of all large engineered systems. Computer engineering integrates the fields of computer science and electrical engineering to develop computer architectures, networks and system-level software. In ECE at U of T, the first two years of study are the same for both electrical and computer engineering students, providing you with a strong foundation to explore our flexible curriculum in years three and four. 

Looking for insights into the ECE experience at U of T? Join ECE professors and current students for a departmental information session, giving you an opportunity to learn about the courses you take at ECE, the potential areas of focus, certificates and minors available to ECE students and possible career trajectories after you graduate. After the presentation, stay around for a live Q & A where you can direct questions to current ECE students and professors.
