Topics § History (UOG, CPES, SOE) § The ES&C & CE Programs § Faculty and Staff § Laboratories and Facilities § Activities and Competitions § Conclusion 2

School of Engineering § The University of Guelph was established in 1964 § The School of Agriculture Engineering was established in 1965 § In 1970 it was renamed `School of Engineering’ to reflect the broader spectrum of the profession. 3

CPES § UOG consists of Seven Colleges. § CPES is comprised of the following faculties: faculties 1. 2. 3. 4. § School of Engineering School of Computer Science Departments of Physics and Chemistry Departments of Mathematics & Statistics There are over 2000 undergraduate students, 480 graduate students and 175 faculty and staff in the college. 4

School of Engineering § Main focus on applying theory into practice, with emphasis on design § 7 Programs (4 Clusters): 1. 2. 3. 4. Environmental Engineering, Water Resources. Biological & Biomedical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Computer Engineering and Engineering Systems 5

ES&C § The ES&C program was introduced in the School of Engineering in 1989 § It was accredited by CEAB in 1994. § It mainly focuses on developing skills for the analysis, design and implementation of computer -based engineering systems § The program evolved in the last 25 years to include several options: § § Mechatronics Embedded Systems Computing Robotics and AI 6

Computer Engineering § The CE program was introduced in the School of Engineering in 2010 § It was accredited by CEAB in 2014. § It mainly focuses on the design, architecture and organization of Computer Systems & Embedded Systems. § Current Options (Streams): § § Microsystems Electronic Design Automation Robotics and AI Software 7

Streams § Streams are optional and students are free to mix and match between streams or pick any elective courses from ESC-1, ESC-2, CENG-1. § Students who wish to strengthen their knowledge in a particular specialization are encouraged to take all 2. 00 credits from one stream. 8

ES&C CE Program Essential Foundation Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Statistics Heat Mass Transfer Thermodynamics Fluid Mechanics, Systems & Control Theory Engineering Background Engineering Design Courses ENG 110, ENG 210, ENG 310 Hardware Design Courses Digital Design, Electric Circuits Signal Processing, Embedded Systems, Electrical Devices … Programming Languages, Data Structures, Operating Systems, Analysis and Design of Algorithms. . . System Computer Networks, Computer Foundation Communication Sys Architecture VLSI Design Adv Comp Arch Software 9

Highlights … § Both programs (CE/ES&C) are accredited by CEAB for 6 years! § Since 1 st year is common, students wishing to switch from Computer Engineering to ES&C and vise versa is possible (Talk to the Program Counsellor “Katherine or Kim”). § No Departments in the School of Engineering ? ? § you will take courses with Mechanical/Environmental/Biomedical … (you will learn more about these disciplines) § The School of Engineering Design Stream ENG 1100, ENG 2100, ENG 3100, … are the pillars and foundation of all programs. (You will be able to work on multidisciplinary projects) § Even though classes are large in 1 st and 2 nd year, they tend to be much smaller in 3 rd and 4 th year. 10

Career Options § Microelectronics (ONSemiconductor, AMD, …) § Analog/Digital Circuit Designers § Computer Architects § Electronic Design Automation (Altera, Xilinx, …) § Design Front End Tools (Synthesizers) § Design Back End Tools (Placement/Routing) § Embedded Systems (AGFA, Intelligent Mechatronic Systems, …) § ASIC or FPGA engineers (chip designers) § Embedded systems software developers § Robotics & AI (Xyteck Automation, Titan Medical, …) § Computer Vision, Design Navigation and Path Planning Algorithms 11
