Bachelor of Engineering Technology, Electronics & Controls at Cape Breton University

Students will gain fundamental knowledge and practical skills in analyzing and designing systems that involve electrical signal and energy, which cover nano-scale biosensor and integrated circuits to transcontinental scale cyber-physical systems. In addition to technical know-how, students will also gain leadership and communication skills through project and teamwork activities.

Electrical engineers must be prepared to apply fundamental concepts in the application of new technologies and to contribute to the growth of these technologies. Our “career-ready” program has a streamlined curriculum that provides a strong technical foundation, hands-on engineering labs in every semester, and system-level integrative projects (including projects sponsored by high-tech companies) at the sophomore, junior, and senior levels. Students will apply the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom and hands-on labs in real-world settings through internships or co-ops and system level integrative projects.

The Bioengineering B.S. is a degree in Electrical Engineering in which the electives are carefully taken to understand and design medical equipment.  With a few more courses, it can serve as a pre-med or pre-dental program.

A B.S. in Electrical Engineering provides the knowledge needed for careers in power systems, control systems, electronics, signal processing, tele-communications, computer programming & design.
