Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering involves the application of electricity for the design and development of new and enhanced products and services.

Electrical engineering deals with the design, manufacture, installation and operation of electrical products and systems. These products and systems range from sophisticated artificial limbs to robotics systems that can search other planets.

Applications of electrical engineering are limited only by your imagination! You could:

• Develop prosthetic devices and medical instruments
• Design electronics for hand-held devices (iPod, iPhone, Blackberry)
• Apply the latest technologies in computer-generated imagery
• Develop new technologies for renewable energy systems
• Design high-performance hybrid and electric sports cars
• Develop the latest systems in space exploration and avionics
• Combine art and technology to design lasers for the entertainment industry

Bachelor of Science in Engineering

The Electrical engineering program is available as a major as part of a four-year Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.

The faculty of engineering at the University of New Brunswick has been preparing graduates for success in their engineering careers since 1854, when UNB was the first university in Canada to introduce an engineering program.

Our graduates have gone on to help design and build bridges, make cleaner fuels and next-generation wireless communications tools. Researchers at the faculty are developing technologies to help improve satellite imagery used by Google Earth and the Canadian Department of National Defence. Others are in helping develop biofuels and renewable energy.

The faculty of engineering at UNB was ranked in the top 10 engineering schools in Canada by Knight School Rankings.
