The Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering (BEng Electrical) is a four year program that prepares students for a professional career as an Electrical Engineer. The BEng Electrical is recognized as a baccalaureate degree in British Columbia by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education and is nationally accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). The program is designed to provide a pathway to registration as a Professional Engineer in BC.
The program
The BEng Electrical program shares first year with the Diploma of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) to provide you with options for your engineering education. After successful completion of the first year, you choose to continue in either an engineering degree or a technology diploma path. The engineering degree path requires an additional three years of study, however, you can choose to transfer to the diploma path and within one additional year you can graduate with an ECET diploma.
The program encompasses a wide range of subjects designed to advance both your technical knowledge and your skills in communications, management and professional practice. A four month workplace education experience allows you to apply your developing skills prior to graduation. (See program details page for more information). In a capstone project that spans the final year, you will apply your knowledge to a complex “real world” engineering design challenge, often an industry-sponsored project.

Engineers serve to protect the safety, health and welfare of the public. This includes protection of the environment. They provide expertise to facilitate the efficient and sustainable use of technology. They also frequently work within multi-disciplinary teams to tackle large multi-faceted engineering initiatives.
Electrical engineers are employed by electrical utilities, communications companies, manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment, computer manufacturers, government, consulting firms and a wide range of manufacturing, processing and transportation industries. They may work as employees, consultants or entrepreneurs.
Electrical engineers are involved in research, design, evaluation and commissioning of electrical and electronic equipment and systems. This includes electrical generation and distribution networks, electrical machinery and equipment, communications systems and networks, instrumentation and control systems.
They prepare design specifications, project reports, cost estimates and maintenance or operating standards. They also supervise and inspect the installation, modification, testing and operation of systems and equipment and investigate failures. Further, they may develop specialized applications and system software, prepare contract documents and evaluate tenders for construction or maintenance. They may also supervise technicians, technologists, programmers, analysts and other engineers.
