Faculty of Engineering and Design

This section presents the requirements for:

Graduation Requirements

In addition to the requirements listed below, students must satisfy:

  1. the University regulations including the process of Academic Performance Evaluation (see the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar),
  2. the Faculty regulations applying to all B.Eng. programs (see Academic Regulations and Requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering Degree).

Students should consult with their Department when planning their program and selecting courses.

Course Categories for Engineering Programs

The following categories of courses are used in defining the programs.

  • Complementary Studies Electives

Courses in this classification must be chosen from among those listed below. English as Second Language courses are not acceptable for use as Complementary Studies electives in any engineering program. Higher level courses may be used to fulfil a Complementary Studies elective requirements with the permission of the Faculty of Engineering and Design and provided all other specified course requirements are met. Registration in ITV sections is not acceptable.

Note: access to these courses is not guaranteed and may depend on space availability and satisfaction of other requirements, for example course prequisites and specific year or program standing.
