What is Electrical Engineering?
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study, design, and application of electrical systems, including electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It involves designing, building, testing, and documenting various devices, machines, systems, and subsystems that use electricity.

What you Learn… How?
Electrical Engineering focuses on the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Students learn about circuit analysis, signals and systems, electromagnetics, power systems, electronics (analog and digital), control systems, and communication systems. The program combines theory with hands-on learning through labs, simulations, and design projects using tools like MATLAB, Multisim, and oscilloscopes. Students may build amplifiers, design control systems, or analyze power grids. Programming (often in C or Python) is also included for system modeling and embedded applications. Many programs offer co-op or internships, preparing graduates for careers in energy, telecommunications, automation, electronics, and more.

Tier 3
Western, Guelph, TMU, UOttawa
Tier 4
York, Ontario Tech
Tier 5
Others
Tier Requirements
Tier 1
Mid 90’s for normal consideration
Low 90’s with special consideration (Above Average Extracurriculars)
Waterloo
Tier two engineering at Waterloo
22% chance with a 90-94.9, 66% chance with 95%+
Supplementary AIF, and Optional Video Interview
Average acceptance rate of 10%
UofT
95%+ for normal consideration (There have been admissions in the 90% range before)
Huge supplemental application on engineering portal
Video Interview with timed written and video answers
Average acceptance rate of 11.5%
Tier 2
Low 90’s for normal consideration
High 80’s with special consideration (Above Average Extracurriculars)
McMaster
General Engineering First Year
Everyone applies for the mainstream Engineering
They admit about 10,000 students a year, with over 15,000 applicants
94%+ is considered safe, though 92%+ should suffice
Carelton
Decent Engineering at Carleton
High 80 average should suffice for admission
About 30% acceptance rate
Good Tier 2 backup
Queens
Hardest Tier 2 to get into
Low to Mid 90’s, with good EC’s
Main track engineering first year
Acceptance rate of about 10-12%
Tier 3
Good Electrical Engineering programs with great opportunities
Mid 80 average, with minimal Extracurriculars
Acceptance rates are in the 50% range
Tier 4
Decent Programs that do allow you to get jobs after, but should only be backups
Low 80’s, and non important Extracurriculars will suffice
Tier 5
Extra Backups if needed
Can range, but usually low 80’s even high 70’s for the non competitive Engineering programs
