Why Study at MUN ECE Faculty of Engineering Contents Chair Faculty Members Programmes Computer Eng. Cooperative education Like all undergraduate engineering programmes at MUN, both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering are co-op programmes. The working environment provides a chance for knowledge gained in the classroom to be applied early and thus retained. Students graduate with significant work experience on their resumes.
Students support themselves as they gain their degree.
The high-technology sectors of the Newfoundland, Canadian, and world economies all suffer from a shortage of highly trained personnel. For many of these jobs, a degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering is the ideal qualification. Thus its graduates are highly qualified to participate in the world's transition from analogue to digital technology. The Electrical Engineering Programme prepares graduates for careers in fields such as power generation and transmission, electrical systems planning, instrumentation design, electrical machines, analogue communication, and electronics. A recent government study found that recent graduates of Memorial's Engineering programme are among the best paid graduates of any educational programme in the province.
