COURSE CURRICULUM

The Electrical Engineering program at the University of Manitoba follows a core-plus-elective structure designed to provide a comprehensive education in the field. The core curriculum builds a strong foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, dynamics, thermodynamics, electric fields, and circuit theory. It also includes essential professional courses that cover energy conversion and transmission, electronics, materials and devices, communications, and control systems. This rigorous foundation ensures students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for solving complex engineering problems. In the final year, students complete a capstone group design project that is industrially relevant and synthesizes their learning into a practical, team-based solution. Control systems and communication systems are also part of the core in the final year, ensuring exposure to key areas in modern electrical engineering. Students can further tailor their education by selecting electives that align with their interests and career goals. Recognized focus areas include power and energy systems, communication devices, engineering physics, and biomedical applications. These specializations provide opportunities for deeper study and preparation for industry-specific roles or graduate education. The program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, and graduates are academically qualified to register as Engineers-in-Training, setting the stage for a successful professional engineering career.
