The Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a Specialization in Science, Society and Policy at the University of Ottawa is designed for ambitious graduate students seeking to bridge the technical intricacies of electrical engineering with the complex dynamics of policy and societal impact. You will delve into advanced electrical engineering topics while simultaneously exploring the critical intersections of scientific innovation and public policy. This program is ideal for those who aspire to lead in fields where technological advancement must be guided by informed decision-making and societal considerations, preparing you for influential roles in research, government, or industry.
This full-time, on-campus Master's degree is typically completed over two years, offering a structured yet flexible learning experience. You will engage with compulsory courses in Electrical Engineering and specialized electives tailored to your research interests, all under the guidance of expert faculty. A significant component of your study will involve the Master's Thesis, where you will conduct original research at the nexus of engineering and policy, potentially culminating in a traditional monograph or a series of publications. You will graduate with a unique skill set, ready to contribute to evidence-based policy development and technological stewardship.
