The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE)

With 80 professors and more than 860 graduate students, this department is buzzing with innovative research.

In the last few decades, we have witnessed exciting new discoveries and developments in almost every aspect of electrical and computer engineering, including microelectronics, computers, communication networks, photonics, alternative energy systems and many others. The fields of computers and communications are coalescing and leading to possibilities that are limited only by your imagination.

We are proud of the many awards, fellowships and other forms of recognition that members of our department have received. As a student, you will learn from faculty members that include three University Professors (the highest honour given by the University of Toronto), 42 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers fellows, 7 fellows of the Optical Society, 10 fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, 20 members of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and numerous endowed Chairs and Canada Research Chairs.

At the root of our success is collaboration. At ECE, you will have the opportunity to work with top researchers from across Canada and around the world and to take advantage of our industry partnerships. Our collaborative relationships with industry partners such as Google, Fujitsu, Ericsson and LG help our students contribute to the department’s history of ground-breaking discoveries, patents and many spin-off companies.
