Timetables and Course Catalogues

Important Notes

  • The course catalogues, the SGS Calendar, and ACORN list all graduate courses associated with ECE - please note that not all courses will be offered every year.
    • The timetables below list the graduate courses that will be offered in the 2024-25 academic year.
  • Timetable information for ECE-prefixed graduate courses is available exclusively on this webpage. Students should not use ACORN for timetable information for ECE-prefixed graduate courses.
  • Timetables are subject to change prior to the course start date. Students are strongly advised to check the timetables regularly for any revisions to the schedule, classroom location, or start date.
  • Students may also be interested in graduate courses offered by other departments, particularly other departments within the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering.
    • MEng students are encouraged to also review the selection of ELITE and Analytics courses offered by the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering.
  • ECE students should also review important dates for courses, and the course enrolment instructions for their program.
