Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Concentration Applied Artificial Intelligence

The University of Ottawa, founded in 1848, is the largest bilingual (English-French) university in the world. Located in the heart of Canada's capital, Ottawa, the university has access to the great institutions of the country. With over 42,000 students, including more than 8,885 international students, the university offers a diverse and inclusive community for learning and growth. The university is committed to providing students with a rigorous education that prepares them for the challenges of the modern workforce. The faculty offers a wide range of academic programs, spanning multiple disciplines and levels of study, including the #1 French immersion program among Canadian universities. Graduates of the university enjoy a high employment rate of 97%, and the university offers over $60 million per year in student scholarships and bursaries, making education accessible and affordable for all.

This program satisfies the requirements of the general Masters of Applied Science Electrical and Computer Engineering Program, but provides a concentration in Applied Artificial Intelligence by taking a minimum of 12 units of courses in the area. As electrical and computer engineers develop new generation systems, devices, applications and networks, it is critical to understand how to effectively, safely and responsibly leverage artificial intelligence theory and methodologies so to integrate them with system design and development. Core courses focus on Applied Machine Learning and Ethics for Design, AI, and Robotics. Furthermore, the students are able to specialize in option courses on deep learning, reinforcement learning, uncertainty, intelligence-enabled communications, autonomous, networked and multi-agent systems, adaptive signal processing, robotics, vision. and smart cities. Graduates of this concentration are equipped with the knowledge and skills to combine theory, research and practice in artificial intelligence to enable filling a wide range of career vacancies in industry, government and academia.
