Teaching Assistants form an integral part of the Department’s human resources, responsible for the Department’s core mission of undergraduate teaching and learning. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering hires a limited number of Teaching Assistants annually to support its undergraduate programs.
A capstone design project is a major component of our engineering curriculum. You will design a product/service of significance, and solve an open-ended problem in electrical or computer engineering. These projects allow you to work directly in the industry while still a student.
With specialized undergraduate programs designed for Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering and a combined MEng Electrical and Computer Engineering program, the Co-op Program gives students a first-hand look into industry.

Computer engineers can change the world. Whether it is the systems that control our phones, cars, planes or robots—every automated device has a software or hardware engineer helping to create it. As a student in UBC’s Computer Engineering program, you will learn how to develop, design and test software, computer networks, and protocols.
If you call a friend, flip a light switch, play a video game or drive a car, you are touching the work of an electrical engineer. Electrical engineers impact almost every aspect of our lives. They make essential medical equipment, design wireless communications networks, predict earthquakes, and invent new ways to generate and conserve energy. Electrical engineers will be leaders in meeting global challenges in energy, health, communication and safety.
The Biomedical Engineering Option in Electrical Engineering allows sudents interested in the application of technology to medicine and the life sciences to have courses and project concentration in these areas. The option provides core courses in Electrical Engineering as well as a range of specific courses traditionally covered in Biomedical Engineering: anatomy, physiology, biomedical instrumentation, biosignals and systems, medical imaging, regulatory standards, design processes, and the emerging areas of micro and nanotechnology.
