Enhanced Power Engineering Concentration

The Institute ofÌýElectrical Power Engineering (IEPE) was established as a province-wide centre for Electrical Power Engineering education. It is funded by industry, primarily Hydro-Québec, and provides a comprehensive program and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. TheÌýInstitute ofÌýElectrical Power Engineering also actsÌýas a point of contact between industry and universities involved in power engineeringÌýand aimsÌýto meetÌýpresent and future needs of the power engineering industry.

Students in the Enhanced Power Concentration will not only benefit from a complete and up to date final year program in Electrical Power Engineering,​​​​butÌýwill also have access toÌýindustry sponsored projects, internships and new employment opportunities.
