The Institute for Electrical Power Engineering was recently established as a province-wide centre for electrical power engineering education. It is funded by industry, mostly Hydro-Québec, and provides a comprehensive program and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, and a point of contact between industry and universities involved in power engineering.

Note: This program is open to students in the regular Electrical Engineering program only.

Here are some benefits of the concentration:

- a complete and up-to-date final-year program in electrical power engineering, with industry-sponsored and supported courses

- access to industry-sponsored projects, internships and new employment opportunities

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

To be considered in September 2010, the applicant must

- be registered in the B.Eng. program (regular Electrical Engineering);

- have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.70

- have completed or be registered in ECSE 361 (Power Engineering);

- be able to complete the degree requirements by Spring 2011;

- agree to follow the curriculum requirements set out below.

SELECTION CRITERIA

The number of students selected, expected to be between five and ten, will be the subject of a specific agreement between the University and the Institute. Selection criteria to the Institute will be based on CGPA and on the curriculum vitae. The selection process for the scholarship may involve an interview with the committee presided by Hydro-Québec. There is a possibility of an internship with Hydro-Québec.

CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SELECTED STUDENTS

Generally, unless the University has authorized specific substitutions, students must complete the degree requirements set out this Calendar with the following specifications:

All students must take (or have taken) five courses from the following:

9 credits

Students must also complete ECSE 474 and 475 (Electrical Engineering Design Projects 1 and 2) on a practical project in power engineering, preferably at the Institute or with a company sponsoring the Institute.

6 credits from the following:

* courses taught in French.

Note: ECSE 460, ECSE 464 (Fall semester), ECSE 465, ECSE 467, ECSE 468 and ECSE 469 are courses sponsored by the Institute and taught at École Polytechnique de Montréal.

The Honours program is a limited enrolment program and entry is highly competitive. There is no direct entry to the Honours program in the first year. Students may enter the Honours program in the following ways:

- Students from CEGEP will be admitted, on the basis of their grades, at the start of the third term.

- Students from outside Quebec will be admitted, on the basis of their grades, at the start of the fifth term.

To remain in the Honours program and to be awarded the Honours degree, a student must have completed at least 14 credits in each term since entering Electrical and Computer Engineering, except for the final two terms of their degree, and maintained a CGPA of at least 3.30 since entering Electrical and Computer Engineering. In either of their final two full terms (i.e., Fall and Winter, or Winter and Fall) students may drop below 14 credits, provided the combined load for the two terms is at least 16 credits. For more information, please contact the Departmental office at 514-398-3943.
