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

With 85 professors and more than 840 graduate students, this department is buzzing with innovative research.

From human health and the environment to climate change and sustainable energy, the world is facing tremendous challenges. Our dynamic professors have outstanding international reputations for innovative research addressing these urgent issues. Under their supervision, you will work with a wide range of industrial sectors, including bioprocessing, biomedical, environmental, financial, health, resource extraction, and pulp and paper.

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), 34 IEEE Fellows, 8 Fellows of the Optical Society, 11 Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, and numerous endowed Chairs and Canada Research Chairs.

At the root of our success is collaboration. At ECE, you will have opportunities to work with top researchers from across Canada and around the world and to take advantage of our many partnerships with industry. The tremendous academic and professional opportunities that our program offers you has launched many successful engineering careers.
