Streams
Biomedical Mechatronics & Systems Control Software& Hardware Energy Systems Digital & Analog Electronics Electromagnetic&RF microwave Photonics

1. Biomedical
Biomedical Engineering involves the integration of engineering and the physical biomedical engineering is a broad field, and one area is the application of ECE technology to the field of medicine. This includes equipment like medical imaging, heart pacemakers, artificial limbs, ultrasound, CAT scans as well as areas like neural engineering. There are a variety of career options, most requiring graduate studies.

2. Mechatronics & Systems control

Mechatronics is related to the systems control area, and includes knowledge of robotics and electronics. It involves the creation of embedded systems.. Embedded systems are found in many of the products used widely, and a good example would be a smart seat in a car. This seat would have its own sensors and ability to remember your setting and automatically adjust itself to your specifications.

3. Software& Hardware
In the computer software stream, students learn the basics of operating system structures, memory management, compilers and middleware. Computers today are designed in conjunction with compiler technology and almost all make use of an operating system this includes laptops, cell phones and PDAs. Students will also examine the basics of data structures, programming languages, databases, security and software engineering.

4. Energy Systems
There are three streams within the Energy Systems field: The High Power Energy Systems stream studies the efficient creation and use of energy as it is applied to high-power applications like utility systems, transportation systems, wind farms, hydroelectricity generation and solar-power farms, to name a few. This stream studies energy at a systems level. Students will learn how energy is generated and transmitted efficiently to the homes, businesses and industries connected to energy grids. The students also learn about motor drives and power electronics

5. Digital&Analog Electronics
Students in the digital electronics stream explore how networks of semiconductor devices such as transistors perform signal processing tasks. Examples of such tasks include generating and amplifying speech or music, TV broadcasting and displaying, cell phone and satellite communications. Students learn how to design sophisticated electronic microchips to perform these tasks in a variety of electronic systems.

6.

Electromagnetics

The Electromagnetics stream is designed to provide the student with a strong foundation in the theory and application of electromagnetic waves. Students will learn how electromagnetic waves can be used in electronic circuits, optical communication systems, medical imaging systems and wireless communication systems. With the addition of a course on partial differential equations, this stream will give students an excellent foundation for further graduate studies in the area of electromagnetics

7.Photonics
Photonics is the study of how to generate, detect, and manipulate light. One of the most important applications of photonics today is fibre-optic communications. The incredibly large data capacity of optical fibres and the very high-speed optoelectronic components form the backbone to our long-distance telecommunications networks. Without optical fiber networks, we would not have the Internet or emails, and long-distance phone calls would be slow and expensive. Engineers with a photonics background can find careers in optical communications and other emerging technologies.

After Graduation
Electrical and Computer Engineering spans over wide spectrum of fields, therefore has one of the highest employment rate among engineering. Some students get an offer from companies and step to society right after graduation. However, fields like photonics, electromagnetics or biomedical usually go to graduate school to further expand their knowledge.

Mechanical Engineering
