School of Engineering

The University of Guelph was established in 1964in 1964. The School of Agriculture Engineering was

established in 1965in 1965. In 19701970 it was renamed `School of Engineering’ to

reflect the broader spectrum of the profession.

CPES

UOG consists of Seven Colleges. CPES is comprised of the following faculties faculties:

1.1. School of EngineeringSchool of Engineering2. School of Computer Science3. Departments of Physics and Chemistry4. Departments of Mathematics & Statistics

There are over 2000 undergraduate 2000 undergraduate students, 480 graduate students and 175 faculty and staff in the college.

School of Engineering

Main focusfocus on applying theory into practice, with emphasis on designemphasis on design.

7 Programs7 Programs (4 Clusters):1. Environmental Engineering, Water Resources.2. Biological & Biomedical Engineering3. Mechanical Engineering4. Computer Engineering and Engineering Systems

6

ES&C

The ES&C program was introduced in the School of Engineering in 19891989.

It was accredited by CEAB in 1994. It mainly focuses on developing skills for

the analysis, design and implementation of computer-based engineering systemsengineering systems.

The program evolved in the last 25 years to include several options: Mechatronics Embedded Systems Computing Robotics and AI

7

Computer Engineering

The CE program was introduced in the School of Engineering in 20102010.

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

Streams are optional 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 particular specialization are encouraged to take all 2.00 credits from one stream.

Highlights … Both programs (CE/ES&C) are accredited by CEAB for 6

years!

Since 1st 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 ENG1100, ENG2100, ENG3100, … are the pillars and foundation of all programs. (You will be able to work on multidisciplinary projects)

Even though classes are large in 1st and 2nd year, they tend to be much smaller in 3rd and 4th year.

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

Design Competitions

ACM International Programming Contest Computer Society Int. Design Competition RoboCup RescueRobot Formula SAE Racing Robotics Team Autonomous Sailing Ont Eng. Competition: Programming Track

Robotics Team

Entered the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition in June, 2013

The U of G robot raced other vehicles through an obstacle course the size of a football field

Controlled by a laptop, the robot uses GPS, laser sensors and a camera

Students also built an underwater robot

OEC: Programming Track

The 2014 Ontario Engineering Competition added a Programming category for the first time

The SOE Team placed 2nd out of 5 teams – they were 2nd year students mainly competing against seniors

They designed a HTML5-based mapping mobile app

$1,000 prize and new phones!
