Qualified engineering technology graduates from accredited Canadian technology programs can enter the degree program at the Thunder Bay campus in third year after completing post-diploma transition courses offered in the summer session prior to third year. The summer program is designed to assist qualified engineering technologists from other institutions make the transition to university studies. The curriculum in the Electrical Engineering degree program is designed to teach fundamental physical sciences, as well as the more practical areas of design and operation of industrial control systems, communication systems, electronic circuits, and the generation and distribution of electrical power. The first two years of the Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Electrical Engineering at the Thunder Bay campus emphasizes the fundamentals of circuit theory, control systems, instrumentation, and telecommunications, thus preparing the student for positions covering broad employment areas in electrical engineering such as the electrical power industry, the communications industry and industrial electronics. The final two years of the degree program at the Thunder Bay campus extend the technologists' capabilities into more advanced conceptual and design phases of engineering. This is accomplished through a series of core and elective courses, engineering design, and a major project which enables the student to emphasize a particular area, such as computer applications, communications networks, industrial control or electrical power distribution. Faculty members of the Department of Electrical Engineering are specialists in their fields of endeavour and offer current information related to theory and practice by conducting research and their liaison with organizations on a local, provincial, national, and international basis.
