The electrical engineering program at UQTR has existed since the founding of the University in 1969 and enjoys an important reputation on the national and international scene. Its format of one hundred and twenty credits allows it to be completed normally in four years. Its diverse and comprehensive content, by North American standards, provides access to a fascinating career in modern industry. From a rigorous basic training, this program is particularly oriented towards: the conversion, management and use of energy, wireless telecommunications, microelectronics and microsystems, industrial electrothermy. Program Objectives This program prepares the student to work as an electrical engineer in cutting-edge industries related to new electronic technologies or in more traditional small, medium and large-scale manufacturing companies or in the service sector and in research laboratories. Its main objective is to enable the student to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to study and exploit electrical phenomena and thus develop the skills specific to the electrical engineer, with a sufficiently extensive training to enable him to work effectively in one or other of the discipline's many activity sectors. The program is particularly designed to give the future engineer solid knowledge in the fields of electronics, microelectronics and electrical engineering. The engineer trained in this way is able to plan and manage industrial projects from a technical, economic, social, environmental and industrial safety point of view. In addition, the training also aims to make the student aware of the importance of continually renewing his knowledge in order to be able to follow the evolution of technologies. Future: Career and Opportunity The electrical engineer works mainly in the following areas: energy, telecommunications and IT. He may be called upon to intervene in industrial design, project management and planning, and administration and technical sales. He may also consider consulting engineering as well as the possibility of teaching and doing research. This program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, which allows graduates who request it to become junior members of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec. To be authorized to use the title of engineer in Quebec, you must hold a permit issued by the Bureau of the Order and be entered on the roll of the Order as an engineer. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering maintains regular contact with professional, social and economic circles in order to ensure, in particular, the best possible balance between the objectives of the program and the needs of the targeted circles. It therefore offers the opportunity for the student to immerse himself in the real environment of engineering while ensuring an understanding of the role of the engineer through several activities, including an introductory internship in electrical engineering. in a company (GEI1082), an international internship (ING1059), a design internship (GEI1065) and an electrical engineering project (GEI1075).
