Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering (Non Co-op)

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Bachelor degree program is divided into two divisions the lower division for the first two years and the upper division for the remaining two or two years and eight months. A student may apply for and enter the lower division at Dalhousie University or at any of the Associated Universities in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The Associated Universities are Acadia University Cape Breton University St. Francis Xavier University Saint Marys University and the University of Prince Edward Island. Once a student completes the studies in the lower division heshe will obtain the Diploma of Engineering. Then heshe may apply for and enter the upper division either in the non co-op stream which takes two years to complete or in the co-op stream which takes two years and eight months to complete. The co-op stream requires a student to take at least three terms to work in industry while registering in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Bachelor degree program as a result a co-op student will take two years to complete the upper division while a non co-op student takes two years and eight months to complete. Once a student competes the upper division heshe will receive the Degree of Bachelor in Engineering with or without the co-op designation accordingly. The tables below summarize the schedules of electrical and computer engineering program. A student needs to select and register one of the program schedules once heshe enters the upper division. Note that although Dalhousie University has a co-op office to help find the co-op work not all the students can find the job placements for their work terms all the time. If this happens a student registering with the co-op program may have to switch back to the non co-op program. In addition this Department offers the accredited Electrical Engineering Bachelor degree program with the curriculum options of either electrical or computer engineering.
