Programs

Engineering
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 as acceptable for the current academic year. The list is published annually on the engineering academic support website (www.carleton.ca/engineering/academicsupport). The list will change from year to year and only courses on the list valid in the year the course is taken, or courses for which formal approval of the Faculty has been obtained can be used as credit toward an engineering degree. English as a Second Language courses are not acceptable for use as Complementary Studies electives in any engineering program. Courses not on the list may be used to fulfil a Complementary Studies elective requirement 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 that access to courses on the list is not guaranteed and may depend on space availability and the satisfaction of other requirements including, for example, course prerequisites.
